Ellen DeGeneres pulls off an awesome selfie

Ellen DeGeneres & Co. at the Oscars on March 2nd

Here is Extra's own live blog of the Oscars this past Sunday, March 2nd 2014: Oscars 2014 Recap: Ellen, Speeches, Winners and More!

I love the fact that DeGeneres hosted this event.  She's quirky yet endearing, and while she may occasionally poke fun at people, she avoids the biting sarcasm that seems de rigueur for hosts.  She is by and large a lady whom scores of people love, because she is generally nice and engaging.

What's more, DeGeneres seems hip with the times.  So in one interlude she arranges to have pizza delivered, and many of the stars join in.  She even asks the delivery man, "Who's your favorite movie star?"      

In another interlude, she asks the stars, "Who will get the most retweets?"

But best of all was the awesome selfie (above) that she pulled off, Bradley Cooper doing the honors of snapping the shot.
