Mention Mariah Carey and the word “actress”, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Glitter. Well, forget about that cheese-fest for one hot minute. Miss Mariah is getting an award and it isn’t a Razzie. Take that, Madge!
I am one of the biggest MC fans out there, but good grief I am not going to brainwash myself by repeating mindlessly that Glitter is frickin’ amazing. But, I can tell you that Mariah’s new role in Precious is hot freakin’ tamale. And for all you MC haters, she is to receive an award.

Mariah Carey will receive the Breakthrough Performance Award at the 21st Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival.
According to a source, “The singer-and-actress will receive the coveted honor at the Californian event in January in recognition for her portrayal of a dowdy social worker in ‘Precious’.”
Festival chairman Harold Matzner said, “We’re delighted to be able to present the Breakthrough Performance Award to the extraordinary, very beautiful and versatile Mariah Carey, who, in a critically acclaimed role, completely transformed herself from a glamorous music icon to a forthright social worker for the role of Ms. Weiss in Precious.”
Previous winners of the prize include Jennifer Hudson, Marion Cotillard and Freida Pinto, who all went on to win an Oscar for their performances.
