This is what Wikipedia says about his faith: “McConaughey had a Methodist upbringing.” That is all I saw mentioned.
Matthew!! ...You Didn’t Win That!!
“First off I want to thank God, because he’s the one I look up to, he’s graced my life with opportunities that I know are not of my hand or any other human kind. He has shown me that it’s a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates. In the words of the late (British actor) Charlie Laughton, who said, ‘When you got God you got a friend and that friend is you.’”
Regardless of how we feel about Matthew (I am a sinner as well and shall throw no stones); the above statement is way beyond Hollywood. It just may give others, especially his fan base and peers, the impetus to also thank God for all that we have been given. In a world growing more secular by the minute, this statement is something that needs to be heard over and over.
Praise the Lord!
1 Corinthians 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
McConaughey's violation was God-mentioning-while-White.
I know nothing of this actor’s personal or political ideals. However, he is doing a terrific acting job in “True Detective” on HBO, albeit with Woody Harrelson as his ‘co-star’.
Kudos to the young man! He appears to be oriented in the correct directions.
I missed seeing him win last night but he’s become my favorite actor. I recently saw him in The Lake House, We Are Marshall and A Time To Kill.
I liked his looks better before he got thinner and flattened down his hair though.

He’s no idiot. He knew this would aggravate the Hollywood Leftists. For that alone, I’m pleased. But that’s not to say his intentions were other than to express gratitude.
Funny how everyone playing an AIDS patient won an Oscar.
Also funny how even though it was on for like 4 hours I only watched the last 20 minutes or so and yet still saw most of the important awards.
NOT Funny, Ellen. And did Sidney Poiter have stroke?
