Yep! As Twitchy readers know, actor Matthew McConaughey gave an impassioned, faith-filled acceptance speech at Sunday night’s Academy Awards. The “cesspool” known as Hollywood didn’t much cotton to it. MTV host Chet Cannon weighed in on the disturbing reaction, as did Fox News’ Father Jonathan Morris. Fellow actor Guy Wilson praised McConaughey for being “fearless.” It is a sad testament that freely expressing one’s faith is now an act of bravery, isn’t it?
Larry Elder also weighed in as only he can. What was the celeb-filled crowd actually thinking when God was mentioned?
After McConaughey's speech, several actors wondered, "Who's this 'God' person he kept thanking–and how can I get Him to represent me?"

Bam!
Elder also called out Hollyweird hypocrisy.
Obama says women make 77% while doing same work as men. The top 10 actresses make "only" 39% compared to top 10 actors. Where's outrage?!

Hollywood's political donations go to dems– to battle "income inequality"–while the industry pays actresses 39% compared to actors.

And what about shameless Obama?
Obama calls gender pay gap "embarrassing." But no shame taking $ from Hollywood– an industry that pays actresses 39% compared to actors.
