Theater award (4)

I think it could be either:

tony

obie

'theater award' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tony that I've seen before include "Boy" , "Shortened man's name" , "- Curtis, US actor" , "award for work in theatre" , "Weller senior's nomination" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
