So the guy that came up with the idea and approach is the secondary on the award?

No, there is one award each year, and this year it is shared equally between two people: Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard. This happens more often, and it has even been shared between three people (in 2002, 2007 and 2018).

Information theory gets credited to Shannon but the people who made it actually work in practice rarely get this kind of recognition. Long overdue.
