28. To further illustrate how impossible it is to understand what, exactly, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association finds funny, Ghost was nominated for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, meaning Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze were both nominated for best actor and actress in the musical/comedy categories.
Not that there aren't laughs in Ghost, but the intentional ones are mainly due to Goldberg—who did win the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress, though ironically the supporting categories are for both drama and comedy—and here's what Ghost was up against for Best Picture: the romantic comedy Greencard (which won), Pretty Woman (which lost!), Home Alone and Dick Tracy.
Too bad that ceremony was ahead of Ricky Gervais' time.
