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. Selected-year rank is the clearest ranking-side separator, with Emily Blunt holding the stronger position in this snapshot.

The category score gives Judi Dench 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 Judi Dench without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
