Could Ellen’s Famous Oscars Selfie Be Cursed?
At one point, it was the most popular Tweet on Twitter. Honestly, it was probably the most famous picture in the world at one point. Now, things have changed. Could Ellen’s famous Oscars selfie from 2014 be cursed? There’s reason to believe so.
Several A-listers gathered for the selfie back in 2014. They were smiling and on top of the world? Now? Not so much. Let’s take a look at why many people are saying the photo is cursed!
Could Ellen’s Famous Oscars Selfie Be Cursed?
So, looking at the picture you still see some very recognizable faces. However, most of them aren’t doing much smiling these days. Things have taken a turn for the worse for almost everyone in the photo. Almost! Jennifer Lawrence is still a treasure and you will hear no slander here.
First, there’s Ellen DeGeneres. She no longer hosts her daytime talk show after she was accused in 2020 of enabling a toxic workplace environment. Former staffers came out and spoke out against the way they were treated, and even some celebrities joined in. One person reportedly even called her the “meanest person alive,” according to The New York Post. Ouch!
Then, there’s Kevin Spacey. On the show, Lisa said this one was the worst out of everyone in the picture. You can see his face in the back of the photo. He was fired from the Netflix hit show “House Of Cards” after being accused of sexual assault years earlier. He was later found not guilty by a jury. However, he then faced many other similar charges in the United States and United Kingdom. He has been acquitted of these charges, but his career has never been the same since.
Also seen is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Much happier times for them back in 2014, they’re now divorced and it seemed like an ugly one. Bradley Cooper is in the photo. He’s still got a good reputation, but he’s been nominated for 10 Oscars and is yet to win one. It seems like this curse could actually be real! Hey, even Twitter isn’t what it once was! Everything is changing!
9 Dudes Who Should Have Won 'Sexiest Man Alive'

Believe it or not, Ryan Gosling has never won People’s Sexiest Man Alive title. I feel like this could have been the year. He was in the biggest movie of the year (and looked darn good in it). Then again…he’s just Ken.
Travis Kelce

I know many people are tired of seeing it and hearing him brought up. However, can you name a more popular man in 2023…who also happens to be pretty sexy? He’s an incredibly popular athlete, a two-time Super Bowl champion (including the most recent Super Bowl title), he’s handsome, and he’s (allegedly) dating one of the biggest starts on earth. Additionally, he’s everywhere! Is there a single commercial running on TV that he’s not in? If there is, I haven’t seen it. This could have been the cherry on top of one of the greatest years for a human being ever.
Harry Styles

Harry Styles is certainly worthy of the title of ‘Sexiest Man Alive.’ He’s one of the most well-known celebrities in the world and one of the most handsome. His list of ex-girlfriends includes some of the most beautiful and popular women alive. He can sing, he can act, and he can definitely model. I wouldn’t have blinked an eye if Harry had won the coveted title. His time will come.
Leonardo DiCaprio

Here’s a fact you may not have known: Leo has never won People’s Sexiest Man Alive title. However, he has won the title for other outlets, but this is the one that matters. He’s also appeared on the cover of People’s ‘Most Beautiful’ in 1998. I’m sure it doesn’t bother him, he’s accomplished enough in fields that matter to care about being the most sexy. That being said, this is probably the only trophy missing from his mantle. I mean, I don’t think they actually give a trophy for this, but you know what I’m getting at…
Robert Pattinson

If I was able to vote for People’s Sexiest Man Alive, I would probably have cast my vote for Robert Pattinson. First, I believe he is in fact the sexiest man alive. Secondly, he remains a big deal in pop culture. He’s Batman! Clooney won it! I think Pattinson should, and eventually will, join the exclusive list. Just give it a little time. The hair…the stare…it’s all there.
John Krasinski

John Krasinski is an American Treasure an is worthy of being named Sexiest Man Alive. We’ve seen him go from cute to straight up sexy since his days on The Office. He’s grown out his beard, got ripped, and remains popular staying busy with several projects in front of and behind the camera. I bet you he was one of five finalists for the award this year. He had to have been. Otherwise, who are the judges here? I’d like to throw my hat into the ring going forward.

The crooner is definitely has the looks and charisma to win People’s Sexiest Man Alive. He seemingly has it all. He’s handsome, he’s funny, and he can play the guitar. Is that legal? I feel like an individual should only be able to be one of those things. All three? Not fair. To be honest, that might have something to do with him not winning.
Simu Liu

Simu Liu is another celebrity that could have been crowned Sexiest Man Alive in 2023. He’s a Marvel superhero, he’s a chiseled Ken, and he’s smart! I enjoyed watching him during his run on Celebrity Jeopardy! Not every guy on this list would be capable of looking good and being smart. Simu can and does!
Pedro Pascal

Did any actor have a better 2023 than Pedro Pascal? The Last Of Us was one of the biggest shows of the year. It was only one of the reasons Pedro was the internet’s favorite person this year. Seriously, did you see all the memes? You couldn’t scroll without seeing his handsome face. It also helps that he’s funny, as we saw when he hosted Saturday Night Live. I’m actually surprised he didn’t win People’s Sexiest Man Alive this year. Patrick Dempsey was a Cinderella story, which is ironic because Dempsey stars in Enchanted.
