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 category score gives Daisy Ridley the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

Ranking longevity favors Viggo Mortensen, whose advantage across ranked seasons gives the comparison more long-range context. Overall, the head-to-head score leans leans toward Daisy Ridley, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
