Ellen DeGeneres was seen taking a brief moment the Oscars simply to take a selfie. And yes, the gadget she had with her was none other than a Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

The Verge reported that Samsung was a major sponsor for the Oscars 2014 and has been sponsoring the same for the last five years now. The company has reportedly spent a whopping $24 million on the last five years at the Oscars.

Samsung’s big presence was cited at the awards night with Samsung Galaxy S5 commercials. The company also sponsored the green room, along with a massive video wall which comprised of around 80+ televisions, smartphones and tablets which were streaming nominated videos.
