Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart are the protagonists of which Oscar winning movie?
Explanation
The two main characters in the film Chicago are Velma Kelly, portrayed by actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Roxie Hart, played by Renee Zellweger. Both women are convicted murderesses who use their time in jail as an opportunity to launch their careers in vaudeville entertainment during the Prohibition Era of the 1920s. The musical numbers and choreography in the film were heavily inspired by the work of legendary choreographer Bob Fosse. Directed by Rob Marshall and featuring songs written by John Kander and Fred Ebb, Chicago won six Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director for Marshall's feature film debut, and Best Supporting Actress for Queen Latifah's performance as Matron Mama Morton.
