Grammar
"being awarded to"
"Over the past couple of years, Samsung and Apple have been involved in a number of lawsuits linked to smartphone patents, which have resulted in damages totaling roughly 9-hundred-30 million U.S. dollars being awarded to Apple."
Here in the sentence, I would like to know how being awarded to Apple functions?
1) ...dollars (which is) being awarded to Apple.
2) as they (=the money) are awarded to Apple = as they are awarded to Apple-> being awarded to Apple and then being is also omitted and it can be rewritten as "which have resulted in damages totaling roughly 9-hundred-30 million U.S. dollars, awarded to Apple."
What do you native English speakers think about the grammar?
Thank you so much in advance.
