Chances at awards, informally
Answer:
NOMS
Hint:
Think of what you might call award nominations in a casual, shortened way.
Explanation:
"Noms" is short for "nominations," which are the chances someone has at winning awards. The clue uses "informally" to hint at the casual abbreviation. It’s a straightforward play on the word, where "chances at awards" directly points to nominations in a relaxed, everyday way.
