The film was nominated for three Golden Globe Awards : Best Musical or Comedy , Depp for Actor Musical or Comedy , and Jolie for Actress Musical or Comedy . The fact that a film originally promoted as a romantic thriller was nominated for the comedy category garnered the film and the Golden Globes considerable mockery . It was later revealed that the film was originally submitted by the studio as a drama , but Henckel von Donnersmarck then told the HFPA that the film should be categorized as a comedy . HFPA President Phil Berk said , " Given the differing opinions , we asked the studio to screen the film for us in advance , and collectively , we decided that the elements of preposterous fun lent the film more to a comedy than a straight drama category .
