As 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.

@Chet_Cannon that got less claps than woody Allen did. Tough crowd. — gabrielle. (@whatgabisaid) March 3, 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 3, 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 Horne (@DanaLovesRacing) March 3, 2014

Amen. Although, it is also sad that speaking of your faith must now be an act of bravery.
