Ellen DeGeneres’ epic selfie breaks the Internet

Good luck topping this epic selfie, world.

Posted to her Twitter account by Oscars’ host Ellen DeGeneres at the awards show Sunday, DeGeneres’ star-studded selfie became the most retweeted of all time after only 34 minutes, surpassing President Barack Obama’s victory photo from the night of his re-election in November 2012.

A small sampling of the photo’s stars includes Kevin Spacey, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Bradley Cooper, Lupita Nyong’o, Jared Leto, Jennifer Lawrence and DeGeneres.

The photo was retweeted more than 2.6 million times and received more than 1.2 million favorites.

Liza Minnelli tried desperately to get in on the action, but didn’t quite make the cut.

Just before snapping the selfie to end all selfies, DeGeneres called on Twitter to help break the record for more retweeted of all time. And boy did Twitter deliver — so much so that the site crashed for more than 20 minutes.
