Nicole Kidman Is a Baby Seal

Besides the Best Picture Oscar snafu, the next best thing was the odd discovery of Nicole Kidman’s inability to clap like a normal human. Television cameras caught her a couple of times clapping, but a far better description would be she’s here to steal our souls.

Hehe, clapping like the grinch.

In this clip, she almost forgets how to clap. She starts banging her palms against each other for a couple of times, then stops with a bewildered look, and tries it again.

Some people had their own explanations.

I can totally see Kidman digging into Cheetos during the break.

Yeesh, if Kidman’s hands really are like Oscar Pistorius’ feet, then Keith Urban needs to look over his shoulder from now on.

Sadly, she’s not alone.

Steve McQueen, director of 12 Years a Slave, needs to learn this whole clapping thing also. Man, maybe Hollywood really is out of touch with the real world.
