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

The category score gives Bill Murray the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Bill Murray and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
