Crossword Genius

Very large vehicles getting awards (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oscars

'awards' is the definition.
(Oscar is an example)

'very large vehicles getting' is the wordplay.
'very large' becomes 'os' (abbreviation for oversize).
'vehicles' becomes 'cars' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'os'+'cars'='OSCARS'

(Other definitions for oscars that I've seen before include "American film Awards" , "American Academy Awards" , "Hollywood annual film awards" , "Wilde's" , "annual handouts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
