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

As of the selected ranking year, Daisy Ridley and Daniel Day-Lewis form a comparison shaped more by career pattern than by any single credit. The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Daisy Ridley's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark.

The category score gives Daisy Ridley the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. The comparison therefore points leans toward Daisy Ridley, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
