Despite the spectacular Oscars gaffe, there was also another issue capturing viewers’ attention – Nicole Kidman’s unusual clapping.
The Lion star sparked much comment on Twitter when the way she applauded was captured on-screen.
Nicole was unfavourably compared to a seal and a sea lion.

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

The Oscar-winning actress attended with her singer husband, Keith Urban, and was clearly having a good time.

Judging by the video posted by Keith, we can safely say there’s nothing unusual about the way she waves or blows kisses.
