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

The category score gives Jack Nicholson 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 Jack Nicholson, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
