It was a lovefest at the Q&A for "Push" Friday night at Park City's Racquet Club Theatre.

First director Lee Daniels had to thank everybody even remotely involved in the making of this gritty drama - from his kids to the casting director to the stars in attendance: Mo'Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey and newcomer Gabourey Sidibe, who plays the obese, pregnant and abused 16-year-old at the movie's center.

Then there was the first question in the Q&A, directed to Mo'Nique: "What are you going to wear to the Oscars?" Mo'Nique's reply: "Absolutely nothing."

Then Carey gushed about working with Mo'Nique: "She gave me anything and everything I could ask for."

Later, Mo'Nique returned the favor, saying Carey "was so brilliant."

Finally, in a response to a pointed question about Carey's past movie failures, Daniels got shirty and defended the singer-turned-actress: "Mariah Carey is a certifiable genius, and I loved 'Glitter.' "
