Record that's an award (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

logie

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

'an award' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'record that's' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'log' (logging is a kind of recording).
'that's' becomes 'ie'.
'log'+'ie'='LOGIE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for logie that I've seen is " John - - Baird, TV pioneer".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
