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. Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Keira Knightley the larger theatrical footprint.

Selected-year rank is the clearest ranking-side separator, with Frances McDormand holding the stronger position in this snapshot. From a historical perspective, the matchup stays evenly split and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
