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 biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Daniel Kaluuya's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark.

Domestic theatrical output favors Jodie Foster, whose advantage across domestic theatrical releases gives the comparison more long-range context. Overall, the head-to-head score leans stays evenly split, but the strongest context comes from the categories where the gap is clearest.
