The Oscars this year was hot ass mess, amirite?! From the Best Picture flub to awarding a sexual assaulter, it’s hard to pay attention to what parts were the worst. BUT, there were moments of brilliance where you kinda went: WTF?! One of those moments was Nicole Kidman’s weird clap. Claims suggested it had something to do with her jewelry, but a more interesting take would be Pan’s Labyrinth.

Check out her explanation:

She was wearing multiple (borrowed) rings and didn’t want to ruin them by clapping them against each other

She said: It was really awkward! I was like gosh, I want to clap, I don’t want to not be clapping, which would be worse, right? It was really difficult because I had a huge ring on that was not my own, but it was absolutely gorgeous, and I was terrified of damaging it!

The ring she was most terrified of damaging was a 13.58 carrat Harry Winston ring:
