Returning Champ Tom Hardy Is The #1 Star of
2015 (He Was Also IMDb’s #1 Star in 2012), Dethroning IMDb’s 2014
Top Star, Shailene Woodley (Who Ranks #6 This Year)
IMDb (www.imdb.com), the #1 movie website in the world, today
unveiled the Top 10 Stars and Top 10 Breakout Stars of 2015. Rather
than base its annual rankings on small statistical samplings,
reviews of professional critics or box office performance, IMDb’s
definitive top 10 lists are determined by the actual page views of
the more than 250 million monthly unique visitors to IMDb.
IMDb’s just-launched Best of 2015 special section features a
variety of additional year-end top 10 lists, retrospective photo
galleries, an in memoriam and other original videos and additional
compelling year-end coverage. To visit this special section
beginning today, go to: http://www.imdb.com/best-of.
And the 2015 winners are:

Scott Eastwood
*Among the select group of stars who charted on IMDb’s annual
Top 100 list for the first time in their careers in 2015, these 10
stars consistently ranked the highest on the IMDb weekly STARmeter
chart throughout the year. IMDb STARmeter rankings are based on the
actual page views of IMDb’s more than 250 million unique monthly
visitors.
“In Mad Max: Fury Road Tom Hardy is surrounded by strong female
characters ‒ which is fitting,” said Keith Simanton, IMDb’s Senior
Film Editor. “While Tom Hardy is IMDb’s #1 star of 2015, he is also
the only male actor to crack IMDb’s otherwise all-female Top 10
Stars of 2015 and 2014 lists. Similarly, Scott Eastwood is the only
male actor to chart on the IMDb Top 10 Breakout Stars of 2015 list,
coming in at #10.”
“Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World) and Lily James
(Cinderella, Downton Abbey) also had a very strong year in 2015, as
evidenced by the fact that they charted for the very first time on
both the IMDb Top 10 Stars List and the IMDb Top 10 Breakout Stars
list simultaneously, which means that not only did they crack
IMDb’s Top 100 list for the first time in their careers in 2015,
but they also were in rarified air in that they were among the top
10 most viewed stars on IMDb in 2015, as determined by page views,”
said Simanton.
“Interestingly, superstar and fan favorite Jennifer Lawrence,
who was ranked #2 on the IMDb Top 10 Stars of 2014 list, #1 in
2013, #2 in 2012 and #7 in 2011 did not rank on the IMDb Top 10
Stars list this year, coming in at #18 in 2015. Given that Jennifer
is currently starring in the final installment of The Hunger Games
franchise and is re-teaming with Bradley Cooper and David O.
Russell in Joy this holiday season, I expect she’ll have a very
strong showing when we compile our 2016 year-end lists,” said
Simanton.
