The top stars of 2017, according to IMDb: Only one American made it on the list!

Updated

Listen up, aspiring stars: You don't have to be from Hollywood to make it in the business. In fact, you may be better off if you're not American at all!

IMDb released its annual list of the year's most popular stars, which accounts for the 10 celebrities who consistently ranked highest on the site's STARmeter. And out of the top 10 this year, just one hails from the US of A.

Women dominated the list, with seven out of the ten slots going to female actresses. It's no surprise that Israeli-born "Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot snagged the top spot -- and other slots were filled by actors from around the globe, from Cuba to Britain to Algeria.

Notably absent from the list are a few actors we would've expected to see! Timothée Chalamet (who is in fact American, despite the French name) starred in two Oscar-buzzy movies this year, so we're sure his STARmeter is on the rise -- but not quite enough to hit the top 10.

Also absent is "Lady Bird" star Saoirse Ronan, the Irish actress who's a current favorite for a Best Actress nomination. She's female and foreign, so where is she?! Perhaps she didn't quite feel the IMDb boost because she also had a big year two years ago with "Brooklyn," which landed her that same nomination.
