'special effect' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'oscar accepted by wwf performer' is the wordplay.
'oscar' becomes 'O' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'accepted by' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are accepted).
'performer' becomes 'actor' (actor is a kind of performer).
'o' inserted within 'wwf' is 'wowf'.
'wowf'+'actor'='WOW FACTOR'
