This year's highly coveted Oscars goody bag contains an eye-watering £100,000 ($126k) worth of gifts - including a patch of land in Australia.
But just steps away from the red carpet (updated to a shimmering champagne colour this year) - homeless men and women have seen their entire existence shrunk to just that, a small patch of land - namely a concrete square on which, if lucky, they pitch a flimsy tent, now rain battered and sodden after weeks of storms sweeping through Los Angeles.
Those without tents move from doorway to doorway, while some shelter under billboards displaying show posters or tourist maps.
