Awards given for such outstanding vehicles (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oscars

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'awards given' is the definition.
'Oscars' can be an answer for 'awards' (the Oscars are the Academy Awards). I'm unsure of the 'given' bit.

'outstanding vehicles' is the wordplay.
'outstanding' becomes 'os' (accounting abbreviation).
'vehicles' becomes 'cars' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'os'+'cars'='OSCARS'

'for such' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oscars that I've seen before include "Awards, for dramatic achievements" , "Wilde's" , "American Academy Awards" , "Movie awards" , "American film Awards" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
