No Academy Award nomination for Dwayne Johnson for his role in The Smashing Machine

After being nominated for a Golden Globe award for his performance in The Smashing Machine, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson missed out on the industry’s biggest award, the Academy Awards.

Johnson did not win the Golden Globe but there were rumors that he might be up for an Academy Award nomination. Unfortunately for the People’s Champion, that has to wait for a different movie as Leonardo DiCaprio, Ethan Hawke, Timothee Chalamet, Wagner Moura, and Michael B. Jordan picked up the five nominations in the Best Actor in a Leading Role category.

Not all is bad news for The Smashing Machine though, as the movie did pick up one nomination in the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category.

Emily Blunt, who was also nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in The Smashing Machine, missed out as well.
