Ever since last year's round of Oscar bait, Hollywood (and all of us) can't seem to quit Timothée Chalamet and Lucas Hedges, seemingly the leaders of a new batch of young thespians molded perfectly for the Best Actor category.

Last year, Chalamet, 22, stole our hearts and peaches opposite Armie Hammer in Call Me By Your Name. Hedges, 21, grabbed our attention as Frances MacDormand's son in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Saorise Ronan's closeted boyfriend in Lady Bird. But don't forget, Chalamet also played a role in Lady Bird, as the lead's alternative, intellectual bad boy option.

It's kind of incredible how the two's careers have paralleled since their simultaneous ascent. They're both breaking hearts nationwide as we speak: Chalamet currently stars as a troubled drug addict alongside Steve Carrell in Beautiful Boy, while Hedges will gut you in Boy Erased, as a young man sent by his parents (Russell Crow and Nicole Kidman) to a gay conversion camp. Coincidentally, Hedges will have his own turn in a drama about a fractured relationship between a parent and their drug addled child in Ben Is Back, opposite Julia Roberts.

Movie choices are not where the similarities end. Both Chalamet and Hedges are also a part of a refreshing new wave against preconceived notions of masculinity. In an interview with fellow floral-suit-wearing Harry Styles (!!!!) for i-D, Chalamet had this to say about gender constructs:

I want to say you can be whatever you want to be. There isn’t a specific notion, or jean size, or muscle shirt, or affectation, or eyebrow raise, or dissolution, or drug use that you have to take part in to be masculine. It’s exciting. It’s a brave new world

Here's what Hedges had to say to MTV about what he looks for from a leading man:

The best example of a man that I look up to is someone who leads with listening...Who understands that his power is his sensitivity...is a leading man that I think is worth watching.



And to GQ on Boy Erased:

The reason I wanted to do 'Boy Erased' is because it's about challenging the world around us and challenging the boundaries that they put on us. Whether that's something as small as putting nail polish on your fingernails or the bigger freedom to express yourself sexually. It was a movie that taught me a lot about conviction and standing up for myself."

Despite all the things that make the two similar, there are major characteristics that set them apart, and I've found that people feel strongly about which actor can get it.

Here's what your choice says about you.

Lucas Hedges

Born December 12, 1996, Lucas Hedges is the quintessential Sagittarius. According to resident Cosmo horoscope expert Julia Pugachevsky, male sags are honest, adventurous, and open to change. If you take a look at the daring choices Hedges has made in his career, along with his strong sense of empathy, he pretty much fits the bill.

If you're another fire sign like a Leo or an Aries, this may appeal to you. Especially if you are the talker of the relationship, or tend to steer the conversation, Hedges is the perfect listener. Fellow intellectual signs like Aquarius or romantic, social signs like Libra might also relate to Hedges' quiet, less ostentatious charm.

Though a fellow December baby, Chalamet is a Capricorn born December 27, 1995. This definitely fits his serious, mature nature—consider for a moment how confident, yet quiet he has been about his burgeoning relationship with Lily Rose-Depp.

Also fitting of his Capricorn nature, Chalamet is quite ambitious and hard-working, having attended the prestigious LaGuardia High (alongside Ansel Elgort). He's meticulous with the roles he chooses, which makes it no wonder he's at the top of Hollywood's list.

Pugachevsky tells me that other earth signs like Tauruses and Virgos—along with the more serious Scorpios—might be attracted to his calm confidence. Fashion lovers might especially be smitten by Chalamet, who is less afraid than Hedges to push the fashion envelope, while always remaining sharp and put together. The result: beautiful red carpet moments like this:
