From memes to many re-creations, the famous Oscar selfie that became the most retweeted tweet now has multiple animated versions. Both Lego and The Simpsons have created their own versions of that famous picture.
With Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Lupita Nyong'o and Kevin Spacey among those in the selfie with Ellen DeGeneres, the tweet got 1 million RTs in an hour. The tweet thus broke the record for the most RTs in Twitter history.
The Simpsons creator Matt Groening shared a cartoon version of the famous selfie that shows Homer Simpson getting booted out of the frame. The image also created a buzz with many fans going gaga over the cartoon.
In the cartoon version made by Groening, picture-taker Bradley Cooper pushes the back of Homer's head away with his heel while the other stars smile behind him.
