Citra Award for Best Actor

[3] Reza Rahadian is the most recent winner for his performance in Innocent Vengeance at the 2023 ceremony.

[5] There were no Citra Awards given between 1993 and 2003 due to sharp decline in domestic film production.

Rahadian also holds the distinction of receiving multiple nominations in the same year a record four-time in 2010, 2015, 2016, and 2020.

Four actors—Mizwar, Rahadian, Nicholas Saputra, and Zainal Abidin—have received multiple nominations in a single year.

At the 1980 ceremony, no Best Actor award was given as the jury panel felt none of the nominated performances that year deserved to win.
