WOW! Ellen DeGeneres set the record for most retweeted tweet of all-time with the selfie she posted. She also is the first user to top 1 million retweets for a single tweet. The flick surpassed 1,300,000 retweets in JUST 34 minutes. @TheEllenShow posted the record-breaker while hosting the Oscars tonight. The mega-selfie featured, among others, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey and Bradley Cooper, who snapped the shot. The previous top tweet was President Barack Obama’s victory photo, tweeted Nov. 6, 2012. It has more than 780,000 retweets. DeGeneres’ tweet was retweeted so much that it “broke” Twitter for some accounts, causing the official @TheAcademy account to apologize, two times.
