One of the best parts about the Do Something! Awards was seeing just how many people participated in an event that raised awareness of so many wonderful causes. And yes, the celebrity guest list was insane, but there were plenty of people working behind the scenes to make sure everything went off without a hitch, from the rolling out of the blue carpet, to the rehearsals, to the reporters covering the show, it took a village to pull this show off.

And since we at VH1 had a lot of our villagers working backstage at the event, we have some pretty awesome photos from before, during, and after the show that you won’t see anywhere else. In our gallery below, check out rehearsals featuring Foster the People, blue carpet moments with Demi Lovato and Kim Kardashian, and Jane Lynch hamming it up next to…Jane Lynch.

Huge congratulations to all the winners at the 2011 Do Something! Awards, which aired August 18 on VH1, especially to Sarah Cronk, the 18-year-old founder of The Sparkle Effect and winner of the evening’s $100,000 grand prize. Cronk (pictured above right with Glee star Lauren Potter) was in good company at the awards show, rubbing elbows with fellow winners Justin Bieber, Sophia Bush, David Beckham, and Will Ferrell, among others. The show featured musical performances from Demi Lovato, Foster the People, and OneRepublic featuring B.o.B. and some hilarious moments courtesy of host Jane Lynch — the full list and photo gallery of winners, plus a few shots of our favorite moments are after the jump.

The 2011 Do Something! Awards were taped this past Sunday at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, and featured a plethora of amazing celebrities who were all on hand to support and recognize their charitable peers. One such celeb who happened to perform during the show was Demi Lovato, who totally killed it onstage, which is just one more reason to tune in to the show. Watch Demi’s plug for the show, which airs this Thursday, August 18 at 9 p.m. ET above, and retweet it using the #DSAwards hashtag. Demi also made our list of best-dressed attendees, and for a bonus peek at her onstage outfit, click below.
