Mariah Carey and "That" Speech

Ok, so Mariah Carey was presented with the Breakthrough Actress award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards gala on Tuesday, January 5th for her performance in the film Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire.  I have not yet seen the movie, but have heard great things about the movie and I want to see it, soon hopefully.  She is clearly drunk, which makes for a bit of an embarrassing speech.

This first video is her actual acceptance speech, in its entirety.  The short version has been getting much more circulation around the web, but I think seeing her entire speech shows that she does pull it back together for the actual content of the speech.



The following night, Carey attended the People's Choice Awards which gave her an opportunity to comment on the previous night's happenings.  The following video is her chatting with reporters backstage.



Ok, that's it.  Congratulations Mariah and thanks for the laughs -- good save.
