Statuette showing no blemish? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oscar

'statuette' is the definition.
(the golden Oscar statuette)

'no blemish?' is the wordplay.
'no' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'blemish?' becomes 'scar' (scarring is a kind of blemishing).
'o'+'scar'='OSCAR'

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for oscar that I've seen before include "Annual film award" , "Develop again" , "Film statuette" , "US film award" , "One close to Mike" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
