Forgive me if we've covered this here before, but I can't remember it being mentioned, and it's an amazing bit o' trivia IMHO. I think we covered the "which Bond theme hit #1?" question but not this:

There have been 24 James Bond films -- 22 "official" plus the first Casino Royale (a comedy) and Never Say Never Again, the Connery "comeback" which was a remake of Thunderball.  Only 4 have produced Best Song Oscar nominees.  Without googling/wiki-ing, Name the films/songs.  (none actually won)

I'm totally guessing, and assuming from the way you asked that it's not the obvious big hits, so I'll say Diamonds Are Forever, The Spy Who Loved Me, Casino Royale and You Only Live Twice.

Indeed, one of 'em is Spy Who Loved Me (song: "Nobody does it Better"). But which Casino Royale are you picking?

then you got 2 out of 4 (song: "The Look of Love", tho' no one really thinks of it as a "Bond song"). Tragically, "Diamonds" and "Only Live Twice" were not nominated.

Goldfinger and Live and Let Die.

Yes to Macca; no to Shirley Bassey -- and that is the mosty amazing fact in this whole shebang, IMHO. It's the quintessential, iconic Bond song. It was a Top Ten single. But the 5 Best Song nominees for 1964 were:

"Chim Chim Cher-ee" — Mary Poppins (*winner*)
"Dear Heart" -- Dear Heart
"Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte" — Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte 
"My Kind of Town" — Robin and the 7 Hoods 
"Where Love Has Gone" — Where Love Has Gone

one more left...

It was starting to bug me so I peeked. Not one I would have guessed. There are certainly others that were better that didn't get nominated--and not just the Shirley Bassey tune.

Bob Shannon just mentioned this on 'LNG...

This week in 1969, The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour replaced the Smothers Bros show on CBS. Trivia:

What iconic American product (still available today) was introduced in a commercial on that very first Glen Campbell show?

This iconic product has an equally iconic jingle associated with it, but the jingle didn't appear until 1975.
