Beyoncé rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of the R&B girl group Destiny's Child. The group's success led to a film debut in 2001 with the semi-autobiographical television film "Carmen: A Hip Hopera," which was a moderate success. However, it was her breakout role as Deena Jones in the 2006 film "Dreamgirls" that earned her critical acclaim and numerous award nominations, including two Golden Globe nominations.
