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 Julia Roberts the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Judi Dench's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. Taken together, the comparison suggests leans toward Julia Roberts while still showing distinct strengths on each side.
