But there is photography in a movie.. I hear it used in reference to movies.. does that just mean they are taking pictures? That doesn't make sense, why do they win awards for it? Nobody sees the pictures?

The term "principal photography" refers to the timespan when they are filming the movie. It comes after preproduction and before postproduction. It is called principal as they shoot "pickups" during post as needed. Pickups are either reshot scenes due to a problem or scenes that were never shot but are now needed due to editing decisions to maintain story continuity.

Photography is taking a photo.
Cinematography is filming a movie. Usually just the filming. The other half of the equation is the editing.
