Producer in poor art genre without Oscar (9)
I believe the answer is:
generator
'producer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'poor art genre without oscar' is the wordplay.
'poor' indicates an anagram.
'without' indicates putting letters inside ('without' can be similar in meaning to 'outside').
'oscar' becomes 'O' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'art'+'genre'='artgenre'
'artgenre' anagrammed gives 'generatr'.
'generatr' placed around 'o' is 'GENERATOR'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for generator that I've seen before include "Dynamo or similar machine" , "Creator" , "Power source" , "juice maker" , "Eg, dynamo" .)
