This remarkable vine shows various famous Hollywoodites apparently refusing to applaud Jenny Beavan, the costume designer from Mad Max: Fury Road, who won an Oscar for her work last night. One suggestion is that it’s because she wore a leather jacket, in keeping with the movie’s fashion vibe—but how would they know until she was already walking past them?
“I’ve seen subtler reactions from a cartoon wolf,” writes Nate Jones.
Update: @anyabike points to a longer clip that shows more nuanced and positive reactions, with clapstainers commencing clapping after the point the vine ends.
That vine that supposedly shows people sneering at Jenny Beavan? Here’s a longer clip. https://t.co/NyTonyyLdD They all laugh in the end

Some suggest they realized they were on camera, but to my mind this is needlessly outraged? Maybe they’re all just tired after hours of Oscaring and have already starting hitting the “golf claps when people hit the stage” point. If nothing else, Cartoon Wolf Iñárritu laughing at her jacket design suggests he isn’t the stick in the mud the vine depicts.
