Reid About It

If you haven't seen it yet, here for your uncomfortable amusement is Mariah Carey's so-out-of-it-she's-got-to-be-drunk acceptance speech at the Palm Beach International Film Festival.



Generally speaking, your acceptance speech for an award shouldn't be longer than your role in the movie. However, Mariah makes it work. She's got the full array of drunken behavior here, the "I love you," the stuttering, the long pauses while she tries to focus, the blurry eyes. She's right there at the level of intoxication where your next step is either to vomit, or try and kiss Suzy Kolber.

This is one of those moments when you're expecting the orchestra to play her off, or the Sandman to come out with his cane, or a power outage, or anything else to save her. Nope. Not at Palm Springs, baby, where uncomfortable moments are the name of the game.
