At this point in the rankings, Annette Bening versus Keira Knightley is best read as a compact career snapshot rather than an all-time verdict. The category score gives Annette Bening the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Keira Knightley the larger theatrical footprint. The comparison therefore points leans toward Annette Bening, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
