Don’t laugh.
It could happen. If Mariah Carey’s latest wish comes true.
Now that she’s permanently removed the stench of her 2001 bomb Glitter with her subtle, praised performance as the social worker in Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire, Carey, who even collected a little bit of Oscar buzz for her Precious efforts, has decided to come out as a major Woody Allen fan who hopes to work with the director some day.
“I’ve never met him, but Bullets Over Broadway is one of my favorite movies ever,” Carey was recently quoted as saying in the New York Daily News. “I can quote every word.”
Allen has a good track record with actresses and Oscar. Diane Keaton, Penelope Cruz, and Carey’s WiseGirls costar Mira Sorvino all won Oscars for performances in Allen movies, and Diane Wiest won two (one of them for Carey favorite Bullets Over Broadway).
So Woody, if you’re listening, please consider giving Mariah a job. Just the very idea of “Oscar winner Mariah Carey” makes me giddy with glee. And if anyone can make it happen, it’s you.

Golden Globes winner, perhaps, but Oscar?
Hey, stranger things have happened! Six months ago, who would have fathomed “Sandra Bullock, Oscar winner”?!
