The usually composed (minus her breakdown moment) Mariah Carey was obviously tipsy when accepting the award for her work in Precious.

There was nothing precious about watching a slurring, unstable and squealing Mariah walking up the stage to receive her Breakthrough award at the Palm Springs Film Festival.

She plays a mustachioed (and pretty much packed on the uglies) social worker in the movie – and surprisingly got rave reviews for her performance.

I gather the movie is nothing like Glitter then? Coz, that was just painful to watch…or even think about. Yikes!

Anyway, see for yourself…Mariah at her grandest moment, accepting the award all drunk and disoriented.

Loltastic nonetheless.
