Mariah Carey will be honored with the breakthrough performance award for her role as a homely social worker in Precious at the 21st annual Palm Springs International Film Festival this January, reports THR.

Mariah has won acclaim for the role which required her to transform from music diva to mustached-matron in the film, which also boasts amazing performances from Mo'Nique and the movie's star, Gabourey Sidibe.

Although her performance was impressive, we can't help but wonder if they're giving this to her because it's so far from her hideous display in Glitter, or if she really deserves it?
