Top 25 stars of 2023, according to IMDb

(STACKER) – A lot can happen in Hollywood in a year.

An actor who’s been auditioning for years might finally catch their big break. A once-omnipresent star who’s somehow faded into obscurity experiences sudden renewed interest. 2023 made much of this possible with a huge turn for film and television, drawing new cult followings and producing just as many shining stars. “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” broke box-office records, and “The Last of Us” had the biggest viewership of any HBO series since the final season of “Game of Thrones”—these successes led a slew of actors to have monumental years.

To get a sense of who the public paid attention to most this year, Stacker used IMDb data on 2023’s top stars to showcase the celebrities who consistently ranked the highest on IMDb’s STARmeter throughout the calendar year.

While some of these celebrities, like Jennifer Lawrence and Margot Robbie, have long been established, most stars on this list either broke out or boosted their stardom this year. Some appeared in the year’s biggest films and television shows, including “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” “The Last of Us,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” and “The Mandalorian.”
