# Palme d'Or winners

*Award winners.*

The top prize at Cannes, awarded since 1946 (as the Grand Prix until 1955), and the most reliable list of the films the rest of the decade would argue about.

**Order.** By festival year, newest first. Some years the jury split the prize.

Best on Fi1m: [*Apocalypse Now*](https://film.one/film/apocalypse-now.md) (92).

## Every year, newest first
