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

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. Elite Top 10 presence favors Sally Field, whose advantage across Top 10 seasons gives the comparison more long-range context.

Commercial scale is another meaningful divider, with the career domestic box office measure giving Matthew McConaughey the larger theatrical footprint. From a historical perspective, the matchup stays evenly split and remains tied to the selected ranking season.
