Oscar (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

academy award

'oscar' is the definition.
(Academy Awards are informally called Oscars)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for academy award that I've seen before include "Oscar" , "Special achievement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Independent and The Guardian.
