Not saying anything about the US not being the best, just that the first award was a retrospective one and the first Grand Prize was basically a participation award.

How many Palmes did your country win? I could do Golden Lion or Golden Bear as well if you like.

Reminder that Polanski got the whole Jury drunk and made them vote for Barton Fink at basically every single category.
Also, check the jury presidents of each year an american film won.

Noah Rodriguez
calm down reddit. I know why they did it. I wonder why they didn't update the info
Jason Johnson
Why would they? Kalatazov for example was a Georgian born in the Russian Empire who represented the Soviet Union when he won. Who should they credit his win now if not the Soviet Union? Should Georgia get credit for his Palme d'Or even though it didn't exist as a state at the time?
