Redeem myself, partly to get an award (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emmy

'an award' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'redeem myself partly' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates a hidden word.
'EMMY' is hidden within 'redeem myself'.

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for emmy that I've seen before include "Television award/trophy" , "British television award" , "US television award" , "Annual television award" , "Least complicated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
