I find it disturbing that the photo is now probably the most famous and widely recongnisable photograph ever taken. Think about that.

lol no

[HappyBivouac]

it was retweeted 2.3 million times in record time, and has been by many many millions more.

Why?

 

[Quake1028]

Can someone explain to me why matt groening drawing a bunch of actors taking a group selfie is a big deal?

Why does everything have to be a big deal? Lighten up.

wow celebraties just like us man

 

[Radec]

Meh.. Awful Simpson parody.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Why?

You could ask that for almost anything that happens on Twitter.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

Lupita's brother just jumps in with them and then basically covers up Angelina Jolie's face lol, all while she's so far in the back you barely see her.

That said, the amount of people who say it's the best photo ever taken just shows how celebrity obsessed America is.

lol.

Honestly, the best part of this whole picture is that Lupita's brother is in it. I like this guy. I don't even know him, but he must swag through life

 

[Ithil]

her groomed and managed ditsy girl-next-door persona?

Watch out folks, this guy is in the know.

 

[Ken Masters]

Man...

J Law is a goddess.

And a down to earth one too!

Are we supposed to laugh at this?

That's the general idea

[SolsticeZero]

I don't see the amazing. Can someone point out the amazing?

 

[Jacobi]

I really, really hate celebrity worship...

I would love to know the story behind this. Was he even supposed to be in the shop or did he force his way in? It is so random that he's in there.

 

[Replicant]

I still blows my mind that out of all the Alias alum, Bradley Cooper is the one who ends up becoming a big movie star. Especially considering how thankless the role of Will Tippin was in that series.

Also, this is crazy:

It reminds me of this:

 

[LuchaShaq]

Really?

MERYL FUCKING STREEP isn't an actual actor, you know one of the best actors of all time and probably the best female actress ever?

 

[pestul]

Really?

MERYL FUCKING STREEP isn't an actual actor, you know one of the best actors of all time and probably the best female actress ever?

Pretty sure the 'actual actors' part is just covering the section of 'actual actors'.. it's only Lupita's brother left out lol.

 

[CrashBandicoot]

If you see it with the actual 'sick bastards' tweet, then yeah

People treat a celebrity group selfie like it's the most amazing thing to happen this year. I'm stumped as to why that is. Was that not clear?

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

The selfie from above:

Poor Liza Minnelli.

DEAD at Liza Minnelli.

 

[Mumei]

I thought people were just treating it as somewhat amusing and not "the most amazing thing to happen this year." Maybe I've missed some over-the-top reactions.

 

[Jal]

If J Law had of actually "drop[ped] a boob" it would of been the most amazing thing to happen this year.

 

[Particle Physicist]

Seriously, what's the big deal about that picture? Why do people think celebrities in public settings acting goofy is so unbelievable?

Not to mention it was a Samsung advertisement.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Lupita's brother just jumps in with them and then basically covers up Angelina Jolie's face lol, all while she's so far in the back you barely see her.

He is pretty much the main thing I like about the picture. He was really taking advantage of the night. Good for him!

 

[Mik2121]

Uhm.. so know it's alright to take photos with your phone during a TV live program? The fuck?

I would have thought that were a bit more adult and classy and not taking photos of themselves during the event and tweeting it or whatever they did.

But I guess asking for a slightly classy event is not cool for the kids these days.

Edit: Ok, it's a Samsung advertising. Still not the best idea, makes the awards event look like a bunch of guys just hanging out.

 

[Ahasverus]

Really?

MERYL FUCKING STREEP isn't an actual actor, you know one of the best actors of all time and probably the best female actress ever?

Meryl is not an actor.
She's actor.

So on one had we have weirdly over-passionate superficial celebrity worship, and on the other hand we have weirdly over-passionate obsession over some superficial notion of "classy." Got it.

I'm a grumpy old man and everything looks like wankery to me.

You actually believe that?

What the fuck man?

Also very disappointed by lack of creative 'shops of this pic. There's got to be some better ones out there.

lol

 

[JPodz]

Ah yes, fake internet outrage at the most insignificant thing strikes again.

So some actors took a selfie and it was posted on twitter. Who really cares?

Is anybody still talking about it 3 days after the fact, other than some message boards?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

This is downright horrifying

 

[dripdripsplash]

Why won't they give Leo an Oscar ?

 

[Jarate]

Get it, they replaced everyone with Simpsons characters!

and look, Homer is being pushed off!

The joke is is that everyone else is yellow but in real life they aren't yellow!

Isn't that hysterical!

Nice. Though Lupita's brother should be real. Just some doofus in the right place.

Is this how jaded people have become?

 

[friskykillface]

poor Liza minneLLi but also funny

i didn't even notice Bart in the simpsons one til someone mentioned it to me, made me go 0_o

 

[Dicer]

We used to call these group photos...

 

[Trouble]

I love the Cumberbatch photobomb in this one:

He got U2 on the red carpet too:

Oh Cucumberbatch, you so silly.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

So this was planned and rehearsed.

 

[sappyday]

The hottest photo Jennifer Lawrence has appeared in

 

[lenovox1]

So this was planned and rehearsed.

I'm sure it was planned, but if it was rehearsed, they were sloppy as all hell.

 

[Count Dookkake]

They are dismantling the sleeping middle class. More and more people are becoming poor. We are their cattle. We are being bred for slavery.

It was part of a bit during the telecast, not just randomly taken for fun.

 

[Dawg]

Can anyone tell me why "Selfie" is so popular? It isn't even a new thing. People have been taking pictures of themselves and posting them online for years. Goes all the way back to MySpace.

I just don't understand why people treat it as a new "trend" or a new thing.
