Scarlett Johansson slams 'God' acceptance speechs
Scarlett Johansson has slammed stars who thank
God when they win an award.The stunning actress claims movie stars who mention God or Jesus in their acceptance speech are an embarrassment to the profession.She said: "Some people can be so goofy, especially the ones that say, 'I'd like to thank our
Lord Jesus up above!'
I'm like, 'For the love of God, keep
your mouth shut. That's why the world is so f***ed up because God is
focusing solely on your career.'"However, Scarlett admits she would probably make a fool of herself by crying
if she ever won an Oscar.She revealed to Britain's B magazine: "If I won, I'd probably cry.I mean,
it looks pretty overwhelming. And if you look around and see you mom crying,
and your agent crying, well, you'd cry too."

She appears to be jealous that others have won more awards than her. Maybe she should worry about actually winning more awards herself rather than focusing on winners thanking God in th... READ MORE

America was not founded on Christianity. (Refer to Article XI from the Treaty of Tripoli"
"if you dislike it get the hell out of america the country that was founded on christianity in the first place"

First of all,
I don't agree with Scarlett's slam of God. I personally believe that the reason why this nation is in the crapper is because of our lack of reverance and mention of ... READ MORE

All i gotta say is on our currency "in god we trust" in our pledge "one nation under god" what we swear on before we get on the stand in court, the Bible. so which country wasn't founded on chritianity again?

i agree with iffy. rather than focus on slamming God acceptance speeches, go do something better with your life and stop being jealous.

I think she should thank God too for all she's got instead of telling people what they should not say

This country was not found on any religion, Christianity or not. She's right in that people need to shut up about thanking god, (I say this as someone who believes in a god despite no w... READ MORE

I'm going to boycott her movies. I am no longer a fan of hers. Shame on you Johansson.

I love how your religion addicts are so easily offended.
I've been annoyed and offended by these ridiculous "Praise to God" speeches for years.
And even though I personally am an... READ MORE

I believe in God, and I honor and respect His name. What makes anyone think that God cares for actors and all their greed and lust. God has nothing to do with actors, and they shouldn't mention His name.

Honestly I found what she said insulting people can thank God for anything especially if they think that God has been the person who helped them achieve whatever the have. It doesn't ne... READ MORE

I'm glad Scarlett slammed the "God" acceptance speeches (even though I, myself, believe in God). These religiously devout pricks need to wake up and do the decent thing: Keep thy religi... READ MORE
