It has been a whole decade since Ellen Degeneres sent shockwaves through Twitter, now X, by posting a star-studded selfie during the 2014 Oscars.
The A-list picture saw the likes of Meryl Streep, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence, Lupita Nyong’o, Angelina Jolie, Channing Tatum and more squeezed into one singular frame.
However much has changed since the 10-year-old tweet was shared more than two million times in the space of two hours – and broke Twitter in the process.
At the time Ellen Degeneres was still presenting her daytime talk show The Ellen Degeneres show, which hit screens for the final time in 2022 after 19 years.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had not long tied the knot at an intimate ceremony at their French chateau prior to the snap – but since the pair have divorced.
It has been an entire decade since Ellen Degeneres broke Twitter with the star-studded selfie which included (from front row left) Jared Leto, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Ellen DeGeneres, Bradley Cooper, Peter Nyong’o Jr, (from second row left) Channing Tatum, Julia Roberts, Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Lupita Nyong’o and Angelina Jolie
But for other selfie participants not much has changed, with Bradley Cooper continuing to bag several Academy Award nominations since American Hustle.
In 2024 he secured three nominations for Maestro – a film he produced, directed and featured in.
The actor and director isn’t the only star in the iconic snap who has continued to stay in the Oscar limelight, with Jennifer Lawrence picking up a nomination for Joy in 2015.
Despite appearing in a film every year since 2014, the actress has managed to also squeeze in time to become a mother.
Many were stunned to learn that it had been an entire decade since the internet-breaking selfie, taking to X to express their shock.
‘Time flies! It feels like just yesterday when it broke the internet. Truly a moment captured in Hollywood history!’
‘So, even though it may not have aged well, the Oscars selfie will always be one of the cultural keystones of the 2010s.’
‘One of the biggest days of Twitter! Will never forget How this went viral in minutes and quickly became the most liked selfie in a few hours.’
‘I remember how this photo broke Twitter then mysteriously vanished,’ one added.
Many flocked to X to express their shock as the famous snap turns ten, however the hype of the ‘iconic’ selfie has worn thin with others, who branded it ‘overrated’ and ‘irrelevant’
Posting a video of Will Ferrell crying into a wine glass to convey their sadness at the picture turning ten, a shocked user said the thought made them ‘nauseous’.
‘2014 being 10 years ago is insane and I’m not ready to acknowledge it.’
But the hype of star-studded selfie has seemingly worn thin with others, who branded it ‘overrated’ and ‘irrelevant’.
‘This is an iconic picture, but most people can’t even name more than five people in this picture.’
‘The most overrated pop culture moment of all time,’ another quipped: ‘“infamous” not a single soul remembers that to this day.’
‘It wouldn’t have become popular, had it been clicked today. All these people look so irrelevant in our lives.’
‘Jennifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep are the only ones I care about in this shot.’
Since the selfie Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have divorced, Jennifer Lawrence has become a mother and Ellen Degeneres has stopped hosting her hit daytime television show
