All finished but there's a few I'm not happy with.

16A Wine or water (7) E?E??NT - I have ELEMENT of which water is one, but where does "Wine" fit?

17A X & Myops agree (5) ??I?E - I have ALIKE. Clearly Myops is "I" but how does "X" fit. I don't think it means clue 10 as 10A is RECANT.

20D Top award. Mark (4) ?C?R - I have SCAR which is a "Mark", but can't parse "Top award".

Can shed some light on 16 and 17a
Wine is an 'element' at communion along with bread and for 17 Myops has his classical hat on X is the Greek letter chi and Myops is me.
Thanks for the oscar tip for 20d wasn't seeing that!

Thanks all. I'm now happy with 16A & 20D and have modified my answer to 17A.

I'm not sure that I'll bother to post it this week as I finished it in under 35 minutes (that is apart from 17A of course)!
