The story goes that during a Tonight Show appearance, Arnold Palmer was asked by Johnny Carson if he had any good-luck rituals. The golfer replied, "Yes, my wife kisses my balls." To which Carson supposedly quipped, "I'll bet that flutters your putter."

Sorry, we just had a flood of newbies and I'm busy validating about a trillion accounts. Hmm, one hit wonders. The only spoken things I can think of are Lorne Green's "Ringo" and, heh, William Shatner 'singing' "Mr. Tamborine Man". But I'm sure neither one is/was an Academy Award winner. Hmmmmm.

Very good guess! But not Orson Welles.

What director who's picture was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar was a "One Hit Wonder" on the pop record charts?

The recording was spoken, not sung
The Oscar winner has never won for acting

Not William Shatner



Since this is a scavenger hunt, I offer you the following clues:

Confused John Huston directed the original Moulin Rouge. His father, Walter Huston had a hit with September Song, but he won an Oscar for acting so he doesn't count. Still thinking, but very frustrated. Confused
