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

By the 1998 season, the comparison is less about a single breakout moment and more about the shape of each actor's accumulated Hollywood results. Career peak is the clearest ranking-side separator, with Helen Hunt holding the stronger position in this snapshot.

The category score gives Helen Hunt 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 Helen Hunt without turning the result into a subjective judgment of acting quality.
