Acting award (5)
I believe the answer is:
oscar
'acting award' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for oscar that I've seen before include "Librettist Hammerstein, d. 1960" , "One of several given to Chicago" , "One close to Mike" , "Cinema award" , "The familiar Mr Wilde, playwright" .)
