Recognized with an IMDb STARmeter Award
IMDb (www.imdb.com), the world’s most popular and authoritative
source for information on movies, TV shows and celebrities, today
unveiled the Top 10 Stars and Top 10 Breakout Stars of 2020. Rather
than base its annual rankings on small statistical samplings,
reviews of professional critics, or box office performance, IMDb
determines its definitive Top 10 lists using data from IMDbPro
STARmeter rankings, which are based on the actual page views of
more than 200 million monthly visitors to IMDb. IMDb also announced
today that this year’s Top Breakout Star, Anya Chalotra (The
Witcher), accepted the IMDb Breakout STARmeter Award from her home
in London, UK.

“With more time at home this year than ever before,
entertainment played a huge role in our lives, and people around
the world turned to IMDb to discover and decide what to watch and
learn more about the stars of their new favorite shows and movies,”
said Matt Kumin, Head of IMDbPro. “Our lists of the Top Stars and
Breakout Stars highlight the actors and actresses our fans and
professional customers were most excited and curious about this
year. We congratulate our Top Star Ana de Armas and Top Breakout
Star Anya Chalotra on their truly phenomenal rises on the IMDbPro
STARmeter chart this year.”
Actress Anya Chalotra received an IMDb “Breakout” STARmeter
Award for her standout performance as Yennefer in The Witcher,
which ranks as one of the Most Popular TV Shows on IMDb this year.
Chalotra has been a strong performer this year on the IMDbPro
STARmeter chart, spending four consecutive weeks in the No. 1 spot
and an additional four weeks in the Top 10. IMDbPro STARmeter
rankings are determined by page views of more than 200 million
monthly visitors to IMDb worldwide. IMDb STARmeter Awards have
proven to be a keenly accurate predictor of stars who are about to
have a breakthrough career moment. Previous IMDb STARmeter Award
recipients in the “Breakout” category include Nicholas Braun,
Olivia Cooke, Jacob Elordi, Pom Klementieff, Brie Larson, Dacre
Montgomery and Miles Teller.
“It is hugely exciting to be named IMDb’s Breakout Star of 2020,
to follow in the footsteps of so many brilliant actors, it's an
honor. I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has taken an
interest and supported my work this year, via IMDb,” said Chalotra.
“I feel incredibly lucky to also receive the IMDb STARmeter Award —
my very first award ever — from IMDb and IMDbPro." To see the full
