Dreamgirls is a 2006 American musical film jointly produced and released by DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures. The film debuted in three special road show engagements beginning December 15, 2006, with a nationwide release on December 25, 2006, and a wide release on January 12, 2007. On May 1, 2007, Dreamgirls will debut on DVD, Blu-ray, and HD DVD. Dreamgirls won three awards at the 64th Golden Globe Awards ceremony in 2007, including Best Picture - Musical or Comedy, and won two Oscars at the 79th Academy Awards.

A musical set in the 1960s and 1970s with a predominantly African-American cast, Dreamgirls is adapted from the 1981 Broadway musical of the same name. The musical was loosely based upon the history and evolution of American R&B music over the years, and contained several allusions to the lives and careers of Motown Records act The Supremes, allusions which the film version expands upon.[1]. Dreamgirls follows the lives of three women — Effie White, Deena Jones, and Lorrell Robinson — who, as members of an R&B singing group called “The Dreamettes,” become famous as the backing group for soul singer James “Thunder” Early, thanks to manipulative manager and record label executive Curtis Taylor, Jr. Conflict arises when Curtis desires to transform the Dreamettes into “The Dreams,” a pop-friendly act, particularly when he has Deena replace Effie, as both lead singer of the group and as his romantic interest.

The film adaptation of Dreamgirls, which had been in development at various times during the 1980s and 1990s, stars Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé Knowles, and Eddie Murphy. The film also features Danny Glover, Jennifer Hudson, Anika Noni Rose, Keith Robinson, Sharon Leal, and Hinton Battle. Produced by Laurence Mark, Dreamgirls was written and directed for the screen by Bill Condon, screenwriter of the Academy Award-winning film adaptation of Chicago, working from the original Broadway book by Tom Eyen and the Broadway songs by Eyen and Henry Krieger. Jennifer Hudson, an American Idol alumnus who made her film debut in Dreamgirls, won the 2007 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Effie White.
