Jennifer Garner became an unexpected meme and talking point at the Oscars when the star was caught on camera looking suddenly alarmed while applauding along with the audience.

The actress' reaction - which had transitioned from seemingly impassive to scarily perturbed - prompted people to wonder what it was Garner had apparently come to realise in that split second on social media.

Some suggested that perhaps she had just remembered that she'd left on the iron or her hair straighteners. The 45-year-old star has now responded to her viral moment, offering fans and followers a few theories into what it was she may have been thinking about.

On her Instagram story, she referred to Guillermo del Toro's Best Picture-winning movie and joked: "Congrats to Shape of Water! Maybe I should date a fish?"

'Hey Jimmy Kimmel, what's in your wallet? Wait where's my wallet?' she continued.

Lastly, she added: 'Can't wait to work with Lena Dunham! Wait did I sign a nudity waiver?'

Garner was referencing Dunham's new comedy TV show, Camping, which will be based on the darkly comedic British 2016 version. She has signed on to play the 'aggressively controlling Kathryn', who has organised a week's holiday camping trip for her husband to celebrate his milestone birthday.

This marks the first time that the actress has worked on a TV project since she played a CIA agent in Alias from 2001 to 2006.
