This past Sunday the Hollywood’s elite assembled at the Beverly Hilton Hotel for the 72nd annual Golden Globe awards.
By now we are sure you saw the stars pose on the red carpet and smile politely to accept their awards but photographer Ellen von Unwerth succeeded in snapping all of the celebs at their best in these candid shots taken backstage.
With a fitting gold backdrop George Clooney, Jennifer Anniston and Julianne Moore were among the A-listers that stopped by the famed photographers pop-up set to get their portrait taken.
At an event where yearly salaries were worn as dazzling arm ornaments these shots are surprisingly priceless.
