Nicole Kidman made headlines at the Oscars – but not for the reason you might expect.

And now Nicole Kidman has revealed the reason behind it, confirming as many people had assumed that it was because of her heavy rings.

“It was really awkward!” she said on Kyle and Jackie O Show on Wednesday. “I was like, ‘Gosh, I want to clap.’ I don’t want to not be clapping, which would be worse, right? ‘Why isn’t Nicole clapping?'”

Nicole explained that while her dazzling Harry Winston jewellery was indeed to blame, she doesn’t think people should be focusing on her applause.

“It was really difficult because I had a huge ring on that was not my own,” she said. “It was absolutely gorgeous, and I was terrified of damaging it. It’s like, is there not more important things to be focused on than the seal clap?”

Nicole was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the ceremony for her role in Lion, but lost out to Viola Davis who won for Fences.
