DeGeneres’ selfie is now the most retweeted image of all time, garnering more than 1 million retweets in just 45 minutes, and currently sitting on 2,3 million retweets. The Oscars’ host managed to gather a gaggle of celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence, Angelina Jolie, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Spacey, Jared Leto, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Lupita Nyong’o and Brad Pitt for a picture for the Academy Awards history books.
