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

By the 2006 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 Burt Reynolds the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity. Taken together, the comparison suggests leans toward Burt Reynolds while still showing distinct strengths on each side.
