Awarded

Hello
Ms Suu Kyi has spent most of the last two decades in some form of detention.
Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, she is one of the world's best known political prisoners, and is currently under house arrest in Burma's former capital, Rangoon.
Demonstrations calling for her release are planned around the world later on Saturday.

Is it correct to write the words, 'Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1991 ...?
For me to write 'Awarded' at the beginning of a sentence seems awkward.
