Parker Posey - 1997 Released : House of Yes, Waiting for Guffman, The Daytrippers, Drunks, Suburbia… As well as some premieres : Clockwatchers and Henry Fool. If you caught the latter two at TIFF, there's a chance some (prob critic) saw all seven of these in the same year. Wowww

Miranda Richardson had Damage, The Crying Game, and Enchanted April in 1992.
Helen Mirren swept everything on tv and film in 2006 with The Queen and Elizabeth I (aired in 2005 in Britain but i think it aired in America in 2006). And she also had Prime Suspect: The Final Act in that same year.
And finally Helen Hunt won an Oscar for As Good as It Gets and her 3rd Emmy for Mad About You in the same year.

Sort of an acting history event: If you extended this to theater Pacino and Olivier - who are extremely similar in many ways besides being the GOATs for their respective countries had unreal and unique years in '92 and '48 - their Oscar winning years. We covered '92 Pacino's double Oscar nodded year earlier - but he also alternated each night on Broadway in Salome and Chinese Coffee - both of which he later did fine film versions of - that's pretty amazing and unheard of in American theater/film. Olivier won his Hamlet Oscar in 48 and alternated THREE plays in Sydney - The School for Scandal/Richard III/The Skin of Our Teeth which is ridiculous and he invented this sort of thing. He of course filmed Richard III in 1955. Pacino on Broadway in Salome "doing an Olivier" in 1992 and Olivier himself in School For Scandal opposite Vivian Leigh:

I would say the 12 month stretch between late 2013 to late 2014 where McConaughey had Dallas Buyers Club, The Wolf of Wall Street, True Detective and Interstellar. If you wanna cheat you and extend that time frame and add Mud. Or you can just count his 2014 efforts would be merit enough. What an incredible track record.

In 2001, Billy Bob Thornton had starring roles in "The Man Who Wasn't There", "Monster's Ball", "Bandits" and less known "Daddy and Them", four completely different characters and projects but he was terrific in all of them. Surprising enough, he failed to get an Oscar nom.
Speaking of Oscars, how many great years Jennifer Jason Leigh have had with almost no recognition? In 1994, she was fantastic in "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle" AND "the Hudsucker Proxy". In 1995, she had "Dolores Claiborne" AND "Georgia". The range is impressive.
There's also Susan Sarandon who makes my line-ups for "Light Sleeper" and "Lorenzo's Oil" in 1992. His co-star in the former film, Willem Dafoe also gets a nom from me for both "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Mississippi Burning". Both 1988 releases, just like "Gorillas and Mist" and "Working Girl", two films starring one and only Sigourney Weaver.
Sometimes I feel like we don't talk about Steve Martin enough on these boards but he's one of the most versatile comedy actors alive. It's pretty amazing how different his roles are in "Roxanne" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" (both 1987) but how he's absolutely hilarious in both. 1991 is another great year for him with "L.A. Story", "Father of the Bride" and "Grand Canyon".
Mickey Rourke owned the 80s in general but 1987 is something else with "Angel Heart" and "Barfly". 1989 is also underrated with "Johnny Handsome" and underseen "Francesco".
Most recently, 2020 was probably the year of Hugh Grant. He gave two excellent performances back to back in "The Gentlemen" and "The Undoing". He was also amusing in "Death to 2020", even if the script failed to give him a single funny line.

Pacino (1973, 1990, 1992) Pacino also has 1983 - which is like his "other 1992" - (so he had a great year in '92 - two separate ways) with one of his defining movie roles ( Scarface) and his most stage defining roles ( American Buffalo) - premiering on Broadway. Philip Seymour Hoffman - also had a historic 2012 with a Tony nomination ( Death of a Salesman) and an Oscar nomination ( The Master) Bradley Cooper did that as well - with Oscar and Tony nods in 2014 - for American Sniper and The Elephant Man.
