An actress who doesn’t believe in God at least knows She is a woman.
Thandie Newton won the Emmy on Monday night for supporting actress in a drama series, for her role as the single-minded Maeve in “Westworld.”
“I don’t even believe in God, but I will thank her tonight. I am so blessed,” she said upon accepting the award.
She then got bleeped for a profanity.
Tim Graham, the executive editor of Newsbusters, shook his Twitter head.
“’I don’t even believe in God, but I’m going to thank her tonight.’ is Hollywood In One Sentence,” he wrote.

Ironically, earlier in the show, co-host Michael Che had joked that not enough white people (except for “Republicans and ex-crackheads”) thank God in their acceptance speeches. Ms. Newton is black.
