Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.

By the 2026 season, the comparison is less about a single breakout moment and more about the shape of each actor's accumulated Hollywood results. The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Kevin Costner's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark.

The category score gives Kevin Costner the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. Overall, the head-to-head score leans leans toward Kevin Costner, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
