Mariah Carey is set to receive an award for her acting. The 21st Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards gala will be presenting Mariah with their Breakthrough Performance Award! The award is for her role as a social worker in ‘Precious: Based on the Novel Push By Sapphire’.
“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,’” festival chairman Harold Matzner said.
Past recipients of the award include Jennifer Hudson and Marion Cotillard – both actresses went on to win an Oscar.
Have you had a chance to see the movie yet? What did you think of Mariah’s acting in it? I’ve heard a lot of awards buzz for many of the actors in this film.

I really don’t think of Mariah as an actress, and therefore find it hard to believe shes the ‘best breakthrough’ performer. Really? They couldn’t find anyone better. Shite, maybe I’d better watch it for myself then.
Her play looked quite surprising in the trailer
HOLLYWOOD HAS OFFICIALLY GONE TO SHIT–WTF
I haven’t seen the movie but critics say she’s great in it. I doubt she’ll get nominated. The title character and Monique are the ones who are talked about for nominations.
I haven’t seen the movie so…
havent seen the movie yet so i’ll have to judge her acting until i see it. they’ve been talking about it a lot though.
I haven’t seen the movie either. I will probably rent it.
Mariah was alwsome, she worked hard for the role and she worked it. Love U MIMI.
