Which film earned Beyoncé her first Golden Globe acting nomination?

Dreamgirls earned Beyoncé her first Golden Globe acting nomination.

Beyoncé played Deena Jones in the 2006 musical film Dreamgirls, directed by Bill Condon. The film was loosely inspired by the history of the Supremes and other Motown-era acts, following a female singing group and the pressures of fame, ambition, and the music business.

Her performance earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture—Comedy or Musical. The film also starred Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, and Anika Noni Rose. Jennifer Hudson won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Effie White.

Dreamgirls is sometimes confused with Beyoncé's later acting roles in Cadillac Records and Obsessed. Her Golden Globe nomination was specifically for playing Deena Jones in this musical drama.
