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

By the 2004 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 Renee Zellweger holding the stronger position in this snapshot.

The category score gives Kevin Spacey the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. The comparison therefore points leans toward Kevin Spacey, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
