BIG WIN
She's conquered music – now Mariah Carey is well on her way to taking over film! The star won the Breakthrough Actress Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Jan. 5 for her social worker role in Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire – and accepted the award from director Lee Daniels with a loopy speech. "Please forgive me because I'm a little bit um, yeah," she joked, leading some to question whether the diva was drunk – or just nervous.
