This year, the Oscars is a bit special in terms of tech. We saw the most retweeted selfie by Ellen DeGeneres in the history of Twitter (at more than 2 million times as of this writing).
Check out who she is having the selfie with and you will know why it is so popular (Here is the tweet). Inside this picture, you can see Ellen DeGeneres, Angelina Jolie, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Spacey, Jared Leto, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Lupita Nyong’o and Brad Pitt. That, in my opinion, is the most awesome selfie. BTW, it was taken with a Samsung GALAXY S5.
Next, there was another picture of her but this time, it shows that it was taken with iPhone. If I were from Samsung, I will not be too happy with it (since she might have been endorsing the GALAXY S5).
Finally, Nokia took the opportunity to join the fun with this tweet.

That is a lot of attention for one person (Ellen DeGeneres) on 2014 Oscars.
