It was a big win for Samsung at the Oscars yesterday when Ellen Degeneres took a selfie with top celebrities using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Ellen grabbed the likes of Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, and more combined to take this impromptu selfie.
This group photo alone is clearly worth whatever price Samsung may have paid to sponsor the Oscars.
If only Bradley’s arm was longer. Best photo ever. #oscars pic.twitter.com/C9U5NOtGap

At the time of this post, that tweet has now been retweeted more than 2.45 million times. That’s far ahead of President Obama’s 2012 election victory tweet, the former record-holder with more than 781,000 retweets.
Twitter removed the limit from its retweet counter, which used to top out at ’50+’, in June 2012.
Here is a clip of how it all happened at the Oscars
