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

The category score gives Whoopi Goldberg the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. Based on the available ranking data, the balance leans toward Whoopi Goldberg without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
