Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.
By the 1999 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 Helen Hunt holding the stronger position in this snapshot.
Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Kevin Costner the larger theatrical footprint. From a historical perspective, the matchup stays evenly split and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
