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

Ranking longevity favors Denzel Washington, whose advantage across ranked seasons gives the comparison more long-range context. From a historical perspective, the matchup stays evenly split and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
