WOW! @McConaughey thanks God and the audience gives a slow clap. Come on, Hollywood. #Oscars
—Andrea Chapman (@STL_Blonde) March 03, 2014As Twitchy reported, actor Matthew McConaughey won hearts with his acceptance speech for his Best Actor win at Sunday night’s Academy Awards. The actor thanked God in his faith-filled speech.
MTV host and “Real World: Brooklyn” alum Chet Cannon noticed a little something about the crowd reaction.
Mathew McConaughey seems like a really good man. Did you notice when he thanked God, the audience nearly took his award away? #Oscars—Chet Cannon (@Chet_Cannon) March 03, 2014
@Chet_Cannon that got less claps than woody Allen did. Tough crowd.—gabrielle. (@whatgabisaid) March 03, 2014
Unreal.
So Matthew McConaughey mentions God in speech and the crowd is basically silent. Well, at least they didn't boo. #DemocratPartyConvention—Linda Marie (@HudBannon) March 03, 2014
So there’s that.

Sad indeed.
This Twitter user sums it up:
Well after watching all the #Oscars, I consider Matthew McConaughey speech to not only be the best, but his public love for God was brave,—Dana Loves Racing (@DriverAppear) March 03, 2014
Amen. Although, it is also sad that speaking of your faith must now be an act of bravery.
