As Twitchy readers know, actor Matthew McConaughey thanked God in his acceptance speech for his Best Actor Oscar at Sunday night’s Academy Awards.
The same ppl who preach "tolerance" get po'd when an actor thx God. They'd appreciate if he thanked sum1 less creepy, like Woody Allen…

Yep. As Twitchy reported, the crowd’s reaction was tepid at best.
@DavidLimbaugh Well, God got as much applause as Woody Allen…does that answer your question?

That didn’t happen, did it?! Actress Cate Blanchett mentioned Woody Allen in her acceptance speech. Did that mention really receive equal applause?
Did woody Allen get more applause than God?? I didn't watch Hollyweird's Self love fest.

"Who had the more tepid applause – Woody Allen, or God?" E! On #Oscars2014

@Biggs_Life Did God just get less applause than Woody Allen?
— Andy Cheek (@cheekymonkeync) March 3, 2014
That it was even a question is beyond disturbing.
Some viewers thought it was close.
Less applause from #Oscars crowd: Blanchett's mention of Woody Allen or McConaughey's mention of God? #sadtosayitsclose

But most, including Perez Hilton, reported that it was even worse: God received less applause.

"@DrewMTips: Light applause for McConaughey's shout-out to God." Woody Allen got a bigger applause.

Hollywood yet again proves it is a disappointment, when Woody Allen gets more applause than someone thanking God.

Jeez, God got less applause than Woody Allen! Hollywood is a God-less cesspool. #Oscars

That is just sad. RT @theskimm: Was just informed that God got slightly less applause than Woody Allen #Skimm #Oscars

Says it all, doesn’t it?
Disgusting. More people clapped for the thanks of Woody Allen than those who clapped for Matthew McConaughey thanking God. #Oscars2014
— Razor (@hale_razor) March 3, 2014
Also disgusting? Gawker, as always.
