Prizes awarded for zero marks? (6)
I believe the answer is:
oscars
'prizes awarded' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'zero marks?' is the wordplay.
'zero' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'marks?' becomes 'scars' ('scar' can be a synonym of 'mark').
'o'+'scars'='OSCARS'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oscars that I've seen before include "Hollywood Academy Awards" , "Trophies" , "annual handouts" , "American film Awards" , "Hollywood annual film awards" .)
