Nicole Kidman's awkward clapping at the Oscars is raising a lot of questions

Cape Town – Nicole Kidman raised a lot of questions when she was spotted clapping at the 89th annual Academy Awards on Monday morning.

The Lion actress, like the rest of the audience, spent the majority of the night applauding the winners. But it's her applauding technique that has everyone thinking she doesn’t know how to clap.

Twitter called Nicole out for not knowing how clapping works...

But a fan account for the 49-year-old was quick to come to her defense and shut the reactions down with one simple tweet.

She wrote: "You try to clap when you're wearing half a million dollars worth of jewels (sic)"
