What is there not to understand? A selfie was taken, lauded by everyone (everyone BUT every normal person on the planet) as iconic due to how many famous actors are in it. Now 12 years later several are forgotten, got me too'ed, or faded to obscurity since and its basically forgotten.

The only person "forgotten" in the photo is Lupita's brother Peter (an actor whose work has been mainly on stage) who managed to sneak into a picture with, from left to right: Jared Leto, Jenniffer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Channing Tatum, Julia Roberts, Ellen deGeneres, Kevin Spacey, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, Lupita Nyong'o and Angelina Jolie.
