Show delight, accepting first of awards (6)

I believe the answer is:

reveal

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

'show' is the definition.
('reveal' can be a synonym of 'show')

'delight accepting first of awards' is the wordplay.
'delight' becomes 'revel' (I've seen this before).
'accepting' indicates putting letters inside.
'first of awards' becomes 'a' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'revel' placed around 'a' is 'REVEAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reveal that I've seen before include "Remove cover, unveil" , "Make disclosure" , "Show, uncover" , "Spill beans" , "Divulge; make visible" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
