Goldberg was also recognized as the first African American to have received Academy Award nominations for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.


Following the academy award, Goldberg won two Golden Globe for Best Actress (1986) for her contribution in The Color Purple, and Best Supporting Actress in 1991 for Ghost (Ghost also won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role).
