Way ace dramas recollected (including director)? (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
academy awards
'way ace dramas recollected including director?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'way ace dramas recollected including director?' is the wordplay.
'recollected' indicates anagramming the letters (letters recollected and rearranged).
'including' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'director?' becomes 'd' (abbreviation eg in film reviews).
'way'+'ace'+'dramas'='wayacedramas'
'wayacedramas' is an anagram of 'academyawars'.
'academyawars' placed around 'd' is 'ACADEMY AWARDS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for academy awards that I've seen before include "prizes for pictures will be obtained!" , "Oscars" .)
