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.

Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Robert De Niro the larger theatrical footprint. From a historical perspective, the matchup leans toward Robert De Niro and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
