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 Denzel Washington the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Kate Winslet's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Denzel Washington and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
