Note: Films released during the selected year influence the following year's rankings.
As of the selected ranking year, Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks form a comparison shaped more by career pattern than by any single credit. The category score gives Tom Hanks the broader edge, though the result remains a comparison of career outcomes rather than personal popularity.
