Answer: Catherine Zeta-Jones (Velma Kelly)

Catherine Zeta-Jones won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her participation in the 2002 box office smash 'Chicago'.

Her big musical numbers in the movie are: 'All That Jazz', 'I Cannot Do It Alone' and 'Nowadays' (duet with Renée Zellweger).
