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

The 2012 comparison presents Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep through the ranking data available at that point in time. Elite Top 10 presence favors Meryl Streep, whose advantage across Top 10 seasons gives the comparison more long-range context.

The biggest-hit category sharpens the box office contrast, especially because Leonardo DiCaprio's leading film creates the stronger single-release benchmark. The comparison therefore points leans toward Meryl Streep, with the most meaningful separation coming from the highlighted career measures.
