Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who returned to host the 86th Academy Awards, tweeted a group selfie with Bradley Cooper, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and other Hollywood biggies. Ellen aptly captioned the image, "If only Bradley's arm was longer. Best photo ever."

The picture received a whopping 1,575,545 retweets and 747,963 favorites in nearly 2 hours of Ellen's posting the picture and broke a record set by President Barack Obama with the picture of him hugging First Lady Michelle Obama after his re-election in 2012.
