You're moving in on it Raggedy, did you see my post on above where I screwed up?? Here is the correct post:

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
He didn't win for directing this picture nor was he nominated for directing.
Not William Shatner
Since this is a scavenger hunt, I offer you the following clues:
Ok, now I'm really confused.
Maybe I should bag this one.
He's a director. His Picture was nominated for best picture not best director. The picture did not win. But he was among the nominees.
Wah. I really screwed up!
And add:

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.
She's moving in on it....
(With that, I think it's salvageable!)
Well, John Huston's my second guess, since Walter already has an oscar for acting. The John Huston movie I'm thinking about is The Bible because I think he made a recording of it at one time. Other than that, I can't think of another recording by John Huston. Huston directed Moulin Rouge (your hint), but Copper Tone? Did they find copper in The Treasure of Sierra Madre? No. I haven't given up - yet. (lol)
OK. Baz Luhrmann recorded Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen) in 1999, but I don't see anywhere that he ever won any Oscar. I found this on IMDb. Is that where you got your info?
You are correct! (I did retract that he won the oscar) Let's move on quickly from this one Raggedy!
Sorry I messed it up
No problem. It was fun.
In an advertisement , what sweets did Boston candymaker, Schrafft, encourage citizens to send to Union soldiers during the Civil War?
Yes to Jelly Beans and that was the link I was using. The question came out of a trivia calendar.

It's my Holiday Avatar: Get it?
