I’ve created a voting table featuring all the actresses. Choose your favorite and see the results
50. Sydney Sweeney
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 2,069
Sydney’s been everywhere lately, and for good reason. I remember first seeing her in Euphoria and thinking she was just another pretty face, but man was I wrong. The girl can act. Her performance as Cassie broke my heart – all that desperation and need for validation felt so real it hurt to watch. She’s also in The White Lotus, which was completely different but she nailed that too. What I like about Sydney is she seems to pick projects that actually challenge her instead of just going for the easy money. Plus she’s producing now, which shows she’s thinking about her career strategically.
49. Elizabeth Olsen
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 16,093
Being an Olsen twin’s little sister could’ve been career suicide, but Elizabeth turned it into her superpower. I’ll never forget Martha Marcy May Marlene – that movie was disturbing in the best way, and she was incredible in it. Then Marvel came calling and suddenly she’s Scarlet Witch, which could’ve been cheesy but she made Wanda feel real and tragic. The way she handled that character’s grief in WandaVision was just beautiful. She’s proof that sometimes the most talented person in the family isn’t the most famous one at first.
48. Ana de Armas
- Country: Cuba
- Total Votes: 16,465
Ana has this thing where she lights up the screen without even trying. Knives Out was my introduction to her, and she held her own with that incredible cast. Her accent actually worked for the character instead of being a distraction. Then Blade Runner 2049 happened and she was heartbreaking as Joi. The Marilyn Monroe movie was risky as hell, but she went for it completely. There’s something about her that feels both classic Hollywood and totally modern at the same time.
47. Lily Collins
- Country: UK
- Total Votes: 19,989
Lily’s got this old-school movie star quality that you don’t see much anymore. Emily in Paris might not be high art, but she makes it work through pure charm. Her eyebrows alone should get their own agent. Mirror Mirror wasn’t the best Snow White movie that year, but she was definitely the better Snow White. She’s got great timing for comedy and enough dramatic chops to make you care about her characters. Plus, Phil Collins’ daughter had to be able to carry a tune, right?
46. Chloë Grace Moretz
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 22,236
Chloë scared the hell out of me in Kick-Ass when she was just a kid, and I’ve been following her career ever since. Watching her grow up on screen has been fascinating because she’s managed to avoid most of the child star disasters. Carrie was a tough role to take on after Sissy Spacek, but she brought something different to it. The 5th Wave wasn’t great, but she tried to make it work. I respect that she keeps taking chances on different kinds of movies instead of playing it safe.
45. Eva Longoria
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 24,145
Eva was perfect as Gabrielle on Desperate Housewives – glamorous, funny, and just the right amount of shallow. But what’s impressive is everything she’s done since. She’s become this major force behind the camera, producing shows and movies that actually matter. Her directing work is solid too. She’s used her success to lift up other Latino voices in Hollywood, which is exactly what you want to see from someone who makes it big.
44. Brie Larson
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 26,318
Room destroyed me emotionally, and Brie was the reason why. That performance was so raw and real that I forgot I was watching acting. Then she became Captain Marvel and had to deal with all the internet weirdos who had issues with a woman leading a superhero movie. She handled it with class while still standing up for what she believed in. I admire actors who use their platform for good instead of just staying quiet and collecting paychecks.
43. Elizabeth Banks
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 26,703
Elizabeth’s one of those people who just makes everything better. The Hunger Games movies could’ve been really serious and depressing, but she brought this perfect touch of Capitol absurdity to them. Pitch Perfect wouldn’t have worked without her as the uptight competition host. Now she’s directing and producing, and Pitch Perfect 2 proved she knows what she’s doing behind the camera too. She’s got this great energy that works in basically any genre.
42. Victoria Justice
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 27,501
Victoria was my introduction to the whole Nickelodeon universe, and Victorious was actually pretty entertaining even for adults. She’s got a really good voice and natural comedic timing. The transition from teen TV to adult roles is always tricky, but she’s been smart about picking her spots. She seems genuinely nice in interviews too, which isn’t always the case with former child stars. Plus she can actually sing, which opens up more opportunities.
41. Jessica Chastain
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 28,211
Jessica’s the kind of actress who disappears completely into her roles. Zero Dark Thirty was intense, and she made Maya feel like a real person instead of just a plot device. The Help could’ve been disaster, but the cast made it work. She’s also one of those actors who actually cares about making movies that matter. Her advocacy for equal pay and better female roles has made a real difference in the industry.
40. Emily Blunt
- Country: UK
- Total Votes: 28,376
Emily can literally do anything. The Devil Wears Prada made her famous, and she was hilariously mean in it. Then A Quiet Place showed she could do horror and work with her real-life husband without it being weird. Mary Poppins Returns was risky because everyone loves Julie Andrews, but Emily made it her own. Edge of Tomorrow proved she could kick ass in sci-fi action. Seriously, is there a genre she can’t handle?
39. Emilia Clarke
- Country: UK
- Total Votes: 29,608
Daenerys Targaryen was a career-defining role, even if the final season was… questionable. Watching Emilia grow that character from scared girl to Mother of Dragons was incredible television. Her real personality is so bubbly and fun, which is completely different from Dany. Me Before You wrecked me emotionally, and she was great in it. Last Christmas was cheesy but charming, mostly because of her. She’s also been really open about her health struggles, which takes guts.
38. Nina Dobrev
- Country: Bulgaria
- Total Votes: 32,240
The Vampire Diaries was my guilty pleasure for years, and Nina was a big reason why. Playing Elena and Katherine and making them feel like completely different people takes real skill. Katherine was way more fun though – Nina seemed to enjoy playing the villain. The show went downhill after she left, which proves how important she was to it. She’s done some movies since then, and while they haven’t all been hits, she’s always engaging to watch.
37. Eva Green
- Country: France
- Total Votes: 33,286
Eva has this mysterious, almost hypnotic quality that makes her perfect for certain types of roles. Casino Royale gave Bond one of his best love interests, and her chemistry with Daniel Craig was electric. Penny Dreadful was made for her – all that Gothic horror and psychological complexity. She’s got this old-world elegance that works great in period pieces, but she can also be genuinely scary when the role calls for it.
36. Katy Perry
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 33,289
Katy’s primarily a musician, but her personality is so big and entertaining that she works on screen too. American Idol has been perfect for her – she’s funny, supportive with the contestants, and brings good energy to the show. Her music videos are basically short films anyway, so she’s always been performing. She’s got natural comic timing and isn’t afraid to look silly, which makes her fun to watch.
35. Rachel Weisz
- Country: UK
- Total Votes: 34,552
Rachel’s got this intelligence that shines through in every role. The Constant Gardener was devastating and she deserved that Oscar. The Favourite was wickedly funny and showed she could do period comedy as well as drama. The Mummy made her an action star for a while, though the sequels were terrible. She picks interesting projects and always brings depth to her characters, even in blockbuster entertainment.
34. Kristen Stewart
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 35,249
Twilight made Kristen famous, but her indie work afterward showed she was actually a really good actress. Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shopper were weird but fascinating, and she was incredible in both. Spencer was a risky choice – playing Princess Diana – but she nailed it completely. She’s got this naturalistic acting style that works perfectly for character-driven stories. I respect that she chose art over easy franchise money.
33. Evangeline Lilly
- Country: Canada
- Total Votes: 35,766
Kate was my favorite character on Lost, and Evangeline made her feel real even when the show got completely insane. The Wasp was a natural fit – she already had the action chops from Lost and the Hobbit movies. She’s got this outdoorsy, athletic quality that makes her believable in adventure roles. Real Steel was underrated, and she was good in it. She seems pretty down-to-earth for a Hollywood actress.
32. Halle Berry
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 36,150
Halle breaking barriers with her Oscar win was historic and long overdue. Monster’s Ball was a powerhouse performance that proved she was way more than just a pretty face. The X-Men movies made her a superhero icon, even if Storm didn’t always get the best storylines. Catwoman was a disaster, but that wasn’t her fault. She’s maintained a career for decades in an industry that usually tosses aside older women, which is impressive.
31. Dakota Johnson
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 37,619
Dakota had to carry those Fifty Shades movies, and while they weren’t great films, she brought as much dignity to the role as possible. The Social Network showed she could do ensemble work well. A Bigger Splash proved she could handle artsy international productions. She’s got this low-key, naturalistic style that works well in both mainstream and indie projects. Plus, having Don Johnson as your dad probably gave her some good acting genes.
30. Kristen Bell
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 37,030
Veronica Mars was such a great show, and Kristen was perfect as the smart, sarcastic teen detective. The movie revival was fan-funded, which shows how much people love her in that role. Frozen made her Anna, which introduced her to a whole new generation. The Good Place was brilliant television, and she was the heart of it. She’s got this genuine warmth that comes through in everything she does.

- Total Votes: 38,024
New Girl was basically built around Zooey’s quirky personality, and it worked perfectly. Jessica Day could’ve been annoying, but she made her loveable. 500 Days of Summer was great, even though it made every guy think they understood women. She’s got this vintage aesthetic and genuine quirkiness that spawned a thousand imitators. Her musical abilities add another dimension to her performances.
28. Jennifer Lopez
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 38,588
J.Lo is the definition of a multi-talent. Selena was her breakout acting role and proved she could handle serious drama. The Wedding Planner and Maid in Manhattan were formulaic but she made them work through sheer charisma. Hustlers reminded everyone that she’s actually a really good actress when given the right material. Building a business empire while maintaining her entertainment career shows incredible work ethic.

- Total Votes: 40,508
I Know What You Did Last Summer was peak ’90s horror, and Jennifer was the perfect final girl. Ghost Whisperer ran for years and showed she could carry a network TV series. She’s got this wholesome, girl-next-door quality that made her perfect for that era of entertainment. The show was cheesy but she sold it completely. She’s managed to stay working consistently, which isn’t always easy in Hollywood.
26. Selena Gomez
- Country: USA
- Total Votes: 40,104
Selena’s grown up in public and handled it really well. Her transition from Disney to more mature content has been gradual and smart. Only Murders in the Building showed she could do comedy and mystery, and her chemistry with Steve Martin and Martin Short was unexpected but perfect. What I respect most is how open she’s been about mental health. She’s used her platform to help people, which matters more than any movie role.
25. Elizabeth Hurley
- Country: UK
- Total Votes: 40,296
Elizabeth became famous for wearing that safety pin dress to a movie premiere, but she’s actually a solid actress too. Austin Powers was perfect for her – campy, sexy, and funny.
