One Shot

The pic above shows Arnold Schwarzenegger presenting an Oscar to a member of the company X, for its research and development of a technology for motion picture projection. X went on to receive another Oscar for it's improvement of this very technology for motion picture photography.
Name the person (pictured), the innovation and the company X.

Answer:
The person in the picture is Dr. Kurt Larche of Osram. The product is the Xenon short-arc discharge lamp for which this Oscar was awarded to them in 1983. Osram received a second Oscar for the HMI Lamp in 1987.

  1. The man in the picture is not Dr. Kurt Larché. He did not fly from Germany to the USA to receive the Oscar himself. As a nephew of him I know it for shure.
