Which director made Beyoncé’s 2006 film Dreamgirls?

The story behind the answer

Bill Condon directed Beyoncé’s 2006 film Dreamgirls.

Dreamgirls is a musical drama adapted from the 1981 Broadway musical of the same name. Condon wrote and directed the film, which follows a fictional singing group and its rise through the American music industry during the 1960s and 1970s.

Beyoncé played Deena Jones, one of the central performers, while Jennifer Hudson played Effie White and Jamie Foxx played Curtis Taylor Jr. The film received eight Academy Award nominations, winning two, including Best Supporting Actress for Hudson. Dreamgirls is inspired by the history of Motown, but its characters and plot are fictional rather than a direct biography of the Supremes.
