One of the best lines of the Academy Awards this year was delivered on behalf of Best Supporting Actress nominee Nicole Kidman. Responding to endless Twitter and media speculation about the way the actress was shown clapping at one point during the telecast (stiff, outstretched arms; bottom-of-palms coming together only), the unofficial Twitter account @NicoleKidman suggested that ‘You try to clap when you’re wearing half a million dollars worth of jewels.’
