 I never knew that Bradley Cooper has such amazing eyes!

Academy Awards host Ellen DeGeneres just wanted a little selfie with some of her friends in the audience on Sunday night. She ended up cramming some of the biggest stars in Hollywood into one shot — and breaking Twitter in the process.

DeGeneres' hope of generating massive re-tweets didn't fall on a sleeping television audience as it racked up hundreds of thousands in the first 30 minutes and quickly went over 1 million.

Twitter went on the fritz shortly after the DeGeneres selfie landed.

DeGeneres took the stage a short time later and announced that they'd heard from Twitter, they'd crashed the site and indeed set a new photo re-tweet record.

From her seat behind the action, model Christine Teigen offered another view of the fun photo op.
