As a native Spanish speaker, I admit I struggled by using dinero vs tender on my first pass (thought my language was being *massacred*) but as the theme revealed itself I honestly chuckled. ¡Mil gracias, Hanh Huynh!
Thanks for sharing your story and the flash technique, Garrett. It really can be great - it helped me after a pretty awful earthquake experience here in Mexico, too, that fortunately now feels more COLD memory than OLD SC(A)RE
Got my lowest Saturday time ever with this one, aided partly by the Messi-related easy SW fill — loved the cluing so thanks to David Karp!

@Marshall Walthew Ooh that's two times already...
@Robert for some reason Oscar-related clues tend to use the year the movie came out and not the year the ceremony took place in
@Grumpy thanks for noticing my typo! Should be 48D but I do love your suggestions
TORTILLA for that's a *wrap* ENRAGEd me a bit, but overall found it fun enough

@Eli F Of course, got it afterwards given the theme, but it did stymie me for a bit ha. just wished the hint was maybe slightly more playful to indicate the twist, is all
