If there's one thing Ellen DeGeneres knows how to do well, it has to be making us laugh. Oh, and taking excellent selfies.

Come on, now, how can we forget that record-breaking picture from the 2014 Oscars?!

When Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Anna Kendrick stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show Monday afternoon, the talk show host couldn't help but recreate a similar picture with the Into the Woods stars.

"I brought my phone out because the selfie that we took at the Oscars, the whole idea was I was going to get a selfie with Meryl and everyone else jumped in," DeGeneres shared. "Meryl was hardly in the selfie."

Don't think Streep didn't notice either. "I know. Bradley Cooper! What a hog," she joked.

So what do you do when you don't 100 percent approve of your picture? Take another one, obviously.

"I thought let's try to do a selfie today with us and you'll be featured more," DeGeneres suggested. "I got it!"

What comes next is another selfie that easily deserves your retweet.

When not snapping photos on-set, DeGeneres' special guests were teasing their latest film set to be released just in time for Christmas. As it turns out, Blunt almost didn't take on her latest role.

"I don't like singing in front of people. I find it really frightening," she revealed. "I was reluctant to audition for it, but thrilled in the end that I did because it was amazing."

With a few vocal lessons and supportive co-stars, her performance turned out just right and even moved her husband John Krasinski to tears.

"He cried. He absolutely loved it," Blunt revealed to E! News. "I think he was so moved by it by what it's saying to this generation and that idea of nobody being alone at the end. It's such an amazing theme running through this film."

She added, "Yes, it's a musical but it's not just a spectacle. It says some really profound things like be careful what you say to children. Children will listen."
