UPDATE: A note was added to the crossword.
Correction: An earlier version of 49-Down misstated the name of the game show segment. It is "Showcase," not "Showcase Showdown."
New PB for a Thursday today! Quick one

spoiler

0:49 and I blame McDonald’s: as soon as I saw the clue for 5A referencing a “grimacing face emoji” my mind went to Grimace shakes and shit, and my rhythm was busted. Damnit mcd hah. And then 6A is also hard to solve without any crosses, another trap that slowed me down.

So close to being my first hint-less Thursday solve. Got stuck in the SW corner and couldn't solve it until I looked up who 44A "Oscar nominee for "Pollock" and "The Truman Show"" was.
