3. Q1. Name the award. What device is the award
modelled after?
Pictured here is the trophy awarded to the winners of an award
in the realm of cinema. Started in 1972, the first recipients of this
award were the inventors of a method known as rotoscoping.
While the name of the award (5) might remind one of a British
educationist from the late 1800s, the name is actually a short for
the field/method of cinema it is awarded for. The choice for the
shape of the award is apt since it is a device which is the
precursor to modern techniques/equipment in the field.
