SHE can act, she can sing, she can rock a red carpet — but people have taken to social media to ask why Nicole Kidman doesn’t know how to clap.

NICOLE Kidman can act, she can sing, she can certainly rock a red carpet, but today’s Academy Awards have taught us one thing: She doesn’t really know how to clap.

The Aussie-born actresss was filmed twice in the audience during the ceremony, enthusiastically applauding the action on stage.
