'hollywood figure' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'broadcast a rant in oscars inspiring' is the wordplay.
'inspiring' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the clue has breathed in or 'inspired' the answer).
'TARANTINO' is hidden within 'broadcast a rant in oscars'.

Can you help me to learn more?
