Where else could one find Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Elizabeth Banks, Lena Dunham, America Ferrera, Meryl Streep, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Bill and Hillary Clinton and President Obama all backstage at the same event?

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign released a behind-the-scenes look Friday at last month’s Democratic National Convention, and the footage features some of the convention’s biggest celebrity ambassadors mixing it up with some of the country’s top politicos.

There’s Sarah Silverman chatting up Elizabeth Warren; Elizabeth Banks catching a word with Clinton; Meryl Streep and Bill Clinton watching together as Hillary made her “glass ceiling-shattering” appearance via live stream from New York; Chloe Moretz explaining to Cory Booker that it’s both her first-ever political convention and first time voting; Oprah and Hillary sharing a hug; and Katy Perry drawing high praise from Clinton for getting the DNC audience all “fired up.”

The video also features President Obama preparing for his speech on the third night of the convention by rocking out to the Eminem classic “Lose Yourself.”

Clinton can also be seen backstage just before coming out to greet the president after his speech.

“You should be so proud of her,” Obama tells Bill Clinton after his speech.

“I am so proud,” Clinton beams.
