Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.

As of the selected ranking year, Jim Carrey and Nicolas Cage form a comparison shaped more by career pattern than by any single credit. The category score gives Nicolas Cage the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

Domestic theatrical output favors Nicolas Cage, whose advantage across domestic theatrical releases gives the comparison more long-range context. The comparison therefore points leans toward Nicolas Cage, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
