Big vehicles getting performance awards (6)
I believe the answer is:
oscars
'performance awards' is the definition.
'Oscars' can be an answer for 'awards' (the Oscars are the Academy Awards). I'm unsure of the 'performance' bit.
'big vehicles getting' is the wordplay.
'big' becomes 'os' (abbreviation for oversize).
'vehicles' becomes 'cars' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'os'+'cars'='OSCARS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oscars that I've seen before include "Trophies" , "Wilde's" , "Hollywood Academy Awards" , "annual handouts" , "Hollywood annual film awards" .)
