The Internet Was Completely Freaked Out By Nicole Kidman’s ‘Weird’ Clapping At The Oscars Last Night

The Oscars brought us many interesting moments last night. That embarrassing La La Land gaffe, Chrissy Teigen seemingly falling asleep mid-ceremony and Nicole Kidman’s weird clapping.

Forget that awkward Best Picture blunder, it was Nicole’s clapping that really stole the show according to Twitter.

The star was caught on camera giving her best applause after Justin Timberlake’s opening performance and nobody is quite sure what she’s at TBH.

The image of Nicole Kidman clapping with her palms and her fingers facing outward like fins will haunt me for the rest of my life

Ugh. One user has a theory and reckons it’s all down to Nicole’s choice of bling.

Omg Twitter, have you never worn rings that hurt when you clap a certain way? That’s probably it. #NicoleKidman #Oscars

Whatever the reason, please stop it Nicole. You’re freaking us out.
