by: Krisha Socito

TV host, Ellen DeGeneres hosted the 86th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on March 2, 2014.

DeGeneres opens the even by throwing playful jokes at Jennifer Lawrence, Barkhad Abdi, Bruce Dern, Liza Minnelli and more.

At one point Ellen orders pizza and gave out slices to Harrison Ford, Kerry Washington and
others.  She also collected tips using Pharrell William's famous oversized hat.

To top off the night, Ellen made history bypassing a self on twitter and making it the most retreated photo.  The Photo was filled with Hollywood A-list stars, including, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Kevin Spacey, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Lupita Nyong'o and her brother, Angelina Jolie and Jared Leto.


In four minutes, the picture got 120,000 retweets which caused the social site to momentarily shut down.
