Nicole Kidman has finally revealed why she appeared to be clapping like a seal at this year's Oscars ceremony.<\/p>\n

Australian radio presenter Kyle Sandilands said to the actress: "I told everyone you were clapping like that because you had the rings on and you didn't want to damage the rings."<\/p>\n

"You are so right Kyle," she replied. <\/p>\n

"It was really difficult because I had a huge ring on which was not my own, but was absolutely gorgeous and I was terrified of damaging it."<\/p>\n

Speaking on the KIIS1065 radio station, Kidman sounded relieved the truth was finally out, after much social media speculation about her apparent inability to applaud properly.<\/p>\n

"It's so true, I'm so glad you clarified that," said Kidman. <\/p>\n

"It was really awkward and I was like gosh, I want to clap. I don't want to not be clapping, which is worse, right - 'why isn't Nicole clapping?'"<\/p>\n

She laughed when Sandilands joked: "They're putting it on the big screen at Sea World with an [sea lion sound] 'urgh, urgh, urgh' thing - it's just not fair!"<\/p>\n

Kidman was nominated for best supporting actress for her role in Lion, but lost out to Viola Davis.<\/p>\n
