Mariah Carey’s new film PUsh: Based on the Novel by Sapphire, is a big winner at the Sundance Film Festival, grabbing two major awards.
Push won the Audience and Grand Jury awards in the U.S. Dramatic COmpetition on the last day of the Utah Festival. Take your mind of Mariah’s flop movie, “Glitter” for a second, then watch Push. You’ll see a big difference in her acting. Mariah Carey told reporters at the festival, “The material is so great that I’m just privileged to be part of it.”
Unlike Glitter, Carey didn’t play the lead role. The film, who also stars Paula Patton, Mo’Nique and Lenny Kravitz, tells the story of Precious Jones, an illiterate, overweight teenage girl struggling to overcome the odds in Harlem. Mariah’s character is a welfare case worker looking after the main character, Precious.
Check out Mariah performing at the Neighborhood Ball last January 20.
