This is possibly the easiest Strands puzzle we’ve had in a while, though how simple you found it may have depended on the order in which you uncovered the answers. 

In my case, I found SPOTLIGHT first, by accident, and given the theme clue (‘Picture perfect’) thought it was maybe something about photography. But when I then discovered ROCKY next, again by accident, I realized that it was Academy Awards-related. 

The spangram, OSCARWINNERS, followed immediately afterwards, and the likes of GLADIATOR, ****** and PARASITE were all easy to tick off the list after that.
