From the Red Carpet to the Acceptance Speeches, Watch the Biggest Stories of the Academy Awards

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2014 Academy Awards is a night gone by, but consumers are still tuning in to blinkx.com for the highlights from Hollywood's biggest party. Some of the most popular videos include:

The Oscars Selfie - Ellen's star-studded "selfie" photo with other a-list celebrities such as Meryl Streep, who has never tweeted in her life, generated over 3 million retweets, making it the most referenced Oscar topic on Social Media. It also broke Twitter and set a new retweet world record.

Pharell Sings Happy - Pharrell Williams had a blast singing Happy, his Despicable Me 2 track nominated for best original song. Take a look at how he went into the audience to shimmy with Oscar nominees Lupita Nyong'o, Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, all while rocking that famous hat.

Jennifer Lawrence Tripping - For the second year in a row, Jennifer Lawrence had trouble staying on her feet. Last year it was stumbling up the steps to accept the Oscar for Best Actress, while this year it seems the red carpet tripped her up. With her talent, she will undoubtedly be back to fall down again next year.

Ellen Ordering Pizza - For all those stars who skipped dinner to fit into that Oscar evening wear, Ellen had their stomachs in mind when she had fresh pie delivered to their seats straight from Big Mamas & Papas Pizzeria. In case you thought it was an actor playing the part, think again. Ellen hand-delivered a $1K tip during a post-pizza-delivery recap on Monday's The Ellen Show.

Best of 2014 Oscars Mani Cam - E!'s Red Carpet Mani Cam captured stars like Jessica Biel -- and even Jonah Hill -- strutting their digits. It's up close and personal with the biggest names in Hollywood.

Top Seven Most Memorable Acceptance Speeches - From emotional, like the sweet Lupita Nyong'o moving speech and Jared Leto's touching tribute, to the entertaining, like Darlene Love singing her speech and Cate Blanchett telling Julia Roberts to "#suck it," see why these seven speeches won the night.
