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. Elite Top 10 presence favors Meryl Streep, whose advantage across Top 10 seasons gives the comparison more long-range context.

The category score gives Meryl Streep the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. Based on the available ranking data, the balance leans toward Meryl Streep without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
