Hollywood Told Matthew Mcconaughey Not To Talk About God, But He Refused During Matthew McConaughey Academys Best Actor award speech, he praised God for his win, a move that few make in acceptance speeches. Voices in Christian media praised his speech, arguing that it took courage. First off I want to thank God because thats who I look up to, McConaughey, who won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of AIDS patient Ron Woodruff in Dallas Buyers Club, declared at the Academy Awards. McConaughey also mentioned that God has graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or any other human hand. He quoted the late British Actor Charlie Laughton When you got God, you got a friend and that friend is you. A great count of twitter users reacted negatively to McConaugheys acknowledgment of the great man upstairs. Ok so you really deserved it McConaughey. Just stop the stupid god talk, one tweeted. I thought we could get through the Oscars without someone thanking god but no he had to ruin it, another responded. Gainor argued that the actors reference to God took a great deal of courage. Hes a young guy, he just won an Oscar arguably at the high point of his career, Gainor noted. Thats like saying you just won the Super Bowl and youre going to thank God on national television. Do you support his public act of gratitude towards god for his work? What are your thoughts?
