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 Robert De Niro the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

Elite Top 10 presence favors Dustin Hoffman, whose advantage across Top 10 seasons gives the comparison more long-range context. Based on the available ranking data, the balance leans toward Robert De Niro without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
