The Woman Who Won So Many Awards

Her initial film credits incorporate the spy comic drama Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986), coordinated by Penny Marshall; Fatal Beauty (1987), costarring Sam Elliott; Clara's Heart (1988); Homer & Eddie (1989), costarring James Belushi; and the social equality period dramatization, The Long Walk Home (1990), costarring Sissy Spacek.

Goldberg won various grants for her supporting part as Oda Mae Brown in Ghost (1990), including an Oscar for best on-screen character in a supporting part turning into the first African-American lady to win the Academy Award for best supporting performing artist in almost 50 years (taking after Hattie McDaniel, who won the 1940 Oscar for best supporting performer for her part in 1939's Gone with the Wind), and just the second African-American performer to win an Oscar for acting—and her second Golden Globe (best execution by an on-screen character in a supporting part in a movie). The film, featuring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, was an open top choice. That same year, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People named Goldberg the Black Entertainer of the Year, and she likewise gathered an Excellence Award at the Women in Film Festival.

In 1991, Whoopie Goldberg showed up in the satire Soapdish with a rock n' roller cast emphasizing Sally Field, Kevin Kline, and Elisabeth Shue, among others. She then showed up as Detective Susan Avery in Robert Altman's generally welcomed farce of the Hollywood motion picture business, The Player (1992), featuring Tim Robbins.

Additionally in 1992, she featured in the tremendously mainstream Sister Act as a world-tired parlor vocalist camouflaged as a sister escaping the horde. Coordinated by Emile Ardolino, Sister Act earned Goldberg an American Comedy Award for Funniest Actress in a Motion Picture, and in addition an alternate Golden Globe designation for Best Actress in a Comedy. The astonishing accomplishment of this film prompted Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993), coordinated by Bill Duke, and emphasizing Maggie Smith (repeating her part as Mother Superior), James Coburn, and after that obscure R&B craftsman Lauryn Hill.
