Thandie Newton Thanks God With A Divine Twist At The Emmys
Thandie Newton of “Westworld” found religion Monday night at the Emmy Awards ― and it inspired a divine one-liner.
While accepting her supporting drama actress award for playing Maeve on the HBO sci-fi series, she said: “I don’t believe in God, but I’m going to thank her tonight.”
