We don't really like showing off here but these award trophies just showed up at our offices and we are really proud of how amazing they look. We could've went with a paper certificate of achievement and coupon to Olive Garden but wouldn't you rather have one of these sitting on your shelf? We just had to share them with you.

And soon the world was captured by the magic of motion pictures.

His most well-known film, The Great Train Robbery (1903), is a critical American film that pioneered new techniques in production and editing that we still see in today's movies.
3. Goodwin Prize - Hannibal Goodwin is a largely forgotten but crucial name in American film history. In a modest house in Newark, NJ, Reverend Goodwin invented transparent flexible celluloid film for roller cameras. Goodwin's patent application was submitted in 1887, two years before George Eastman's celluloid film patent, but remained unissued as it underwent several amendments. Goodwin died in 1900, but in 1913 he was posthumously vindicated when it was ruled that Goodwin’s patent had been infringed upon by Eastman.
