For every bit of incredible action that happened onstage at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, there were another half dozen moments that didn't make it into the broadcast.

Moments like, say, Kat Graham and Rita Ora whispering seeeecret secrets to each other -- or Mariska Hargitay presiding like a grand high empress of Hollywood over a gaggle of popstars, supermodels and actresses.

But don't worry: All that awesomeness haven't been lost to history. The good stuff from behind the scenes at the VMAs was captured by savvy photographers, and now it's yours to feast your little eyeballs on. Check out the best of last night's candid pics below.
