So Last Sunday At The #Oscars2014 The Host Of This Event Ellen Degeneres Has Taking A Biggest ''Selfie'' Of All Time In History With Every A-List Celebrities In The Planet So Here's A Thing That The Ellen's Tweet Has Recorded The Most Longest Retweet And Favorite Of All Time With 3-Million Retweets And 1-Million Favorites (To Broke As A Twitter Retweets And Favorites Record) So Here's My Question: Why The #OscarSelfie Moment At The Oscars 2014 Is The Greatest Retweet Of All Time In History?

[Raoul Duke]

because a lot of people actually watched the Oscars this year (not this guy) and everyone seems to be on twitter these days and everyone likes to "jump on the bandwagon" especially twitter users, so it just spiraled out of control.

Of all the answers, Edmund's (more than anyone else) understands the dirty underworld of commercial television, where everything is for sale. Even award shows.
