It's official. The Oscars have finally crash-landed into the 21st century and the results are record breaking.....  In a nod to a moment of sheer genius that set the social media world ablaze, host Ellen DeGeneres made history as she gathered some of Hollywood's most elite and took the selfie to end all selfies. In just under an hour, said photo broke the record previously held by President Barack Obama to become the most retweeted photograph ever. By the end of the telecast, which clocked in at a few minutes past eternity, the figure stood at more than two million retweets.
