Quick solve, but needed google to confirm a few things to make sure I had the solve dead to rights before submitting.
(Yes, recalling how fortunate I was that Cloris got her Oscar before Ingrid - was a good reminder to solve the entire puzzle.)

Unboxed, no Google

Dino me!

There's a professional reason this puzzle would never require me to google.

Enjoyed! Some nice clueing producing light chuckles. Good job, Ryan!

No, I think those of us who did not need Google need to get out more :lol:

I also needed google.
Even if I were to get out more it probably wouldn't help in my case.
Maybe if I were to get out transatlantically...

Solved. There is a personal preference reason that required me to google.
