Cate Blanchett – Hot Fuzz (2007)

Two-time Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett puts her superb skills to good use in Hot Fuzz, appearing as Nicholas' (Simon Pegg) disgruntled ex-girlfriend Janine. Rumor has it that Cate donated her earnings from the film to charity. Side note: the Aussie's Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson also has a cameo in the action comedy, playing a disturbed Santa Claus.
