Natasha Lyonne's Clap At The Emmy Awards Wins Twitter Applause

Natasha Lyonne lost twice at the Emmy Awards on Sunday, but she won for best clap.

Viewers noticed the “Russian Doll” star applauding awkwardly ― and they cheered and jeered her for it on Twitter.

For some online critics, the clap brought back memories of Nicole Kidman’s seal-like applause from the 2017 Emmys. But for most, it was purely a current phenomenon to be celebrated or mocked.

We’re just waiting for Lyonne, who was nominated for lead actress in a comedy and for writing, to clap back!

I posit this; perhaps it is the world - not Natasha Lyonne - who has forgotten how to clap. pic.twitter.com/IDhbJuTxRv

Plot twist: the reason why Natasha Lyonne is clapping like there's no tomorrow is bc she knows everyone will fall off the stairs later and die. She knows better. She gets the last clap. #Emmys #Emmys2019 #RussianDoll pic.twitter.com/Nfzw658OCH
