Present promotional film Oscar forwarded (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

provide

'present' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'promotional film oscar forwarded' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'film' could be 'vid' (short for video) and 'vid' is present in the answer.
'oscar' could be 'o' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'pre' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for provide that I've seen before include "PR video (anag.)" , "'Furnish, supply (7)'" , "Make available, supply" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
