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."

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