The historical selfie that Ellen DeGeneres posted during the Oscars leads to a huge game. It has been the hot topic on television shows, news and radio shows as a non-stop party, which the creator of “The Simpsons” has also zeroed in on. He used the photo with Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence and company in order to recreate the scene with Homer Simpson in it.
In his drawing, the same characters appear and the father from the Springfield tribe is being kicked by Bradley Cooper while the photo is taken, and finally to avoid what is strained in the picture, the dark humor characteristic of the cartoon series on Fox. The event was also posted on Twitter with the idea of continuing the trend of retweeting something that DeGeneres started on Sunday, breaking a record with more than 3 million tweets.
The popular photograph has not only been recreated by Groening. There is also another version with Lego figures circulating by La Red, furthermore a lot of the other recreations that are the same as DeGeneres share with their followers on Twitter pictures of children sick with cancer, posing in the same position as the Hollywood Stars in the Dolby Theater from Los Angeles.
