Top 10 Stars of 2013 as Ranked by IMDB

IMDB has released its annual list of the top 10 stars of the year along with the top 10 emerging actors as determined by page views on the popular movie and television website. Jennifer Lawrence proved to be the most popular star and earned the top spot, moving up a rank from 2012 and kicking Tom Hardy out of the #1 spot he captured last year. But while The Hunger Games helped Lawrence capture the top spot, it didn’t boost the status of her male co-stars. According to IMDB, Josh Hutcherson (‘Peeta’) fell from #9 to #54 while Liam Hemsworth (‘Gale’) tumbled from #12 to #59.
 
Meanwhile Sons of Anarchy‘s Charlie Hunnam came in first on the emerging stars list due to his performances in SoA and Pacific Rim and the fact he was initially cast as the lead in Fifty Shades of Grey (he later dropped out).
 
“The big story this year is Jennifer Lawrence, who is literally ‘The Girl on Fire,’” said Keith Simanton, IMDb’s managing editor. “In 2011 she ranked #1 on the IMDb Top 10 Emerging Stars of the Year list. In 2012 she came in at #2 on our overall Top 10 Stars of 2012 on the strength of the first Hunger Games. This year, she’s #1 as she dominated much of the early awards season, when she won the Oscar for Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook. Then she re-ignited the latter half of the year as The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, lit up November with box office records. It’s also important to note that she dominated this year’s rankings, outpacing her nearest competitor, Chloë Grace Moretz, with 89% more page views. She led the rest of the field by a much higher margin.”
 
“Chloë Grace Moretz has also experienced a significant rise over the last several years, moving from #55 on our Top Stars of 2011 chart, to #17 in 2012,” added Simanton. “She catapulted from #17 to #2 in 2013 – an impressive accomplishment that was fueled by fan interest in the remake of Carrie and her film Kick-Ass 2.”
 
The lists are pulled from actual page views on IMDB which has more than 160 million unique visitors each month.
