Over the years, The Rock has won awards for being the best actor in different roles. Moreover, he has also won accolades for being the most popular celebrity. Sadly, this wasn’t the case recently, despite Johnson being up for six categories at the People’s Choice Awards 2022.
Dwayne Johnson fails to repeat last year’s success
Dwayne Johnson has had a star-studded Hollywood career lined with many awards and accolades. The former WWE Champion has won awards for his acting roles in movies and TV series. In 2021, he won the People’s Choice Award for the Comedy Movie Star and Male Movie Star for Jungle Cruise to go along with the People’s Champion Award.
This year, The People’s Choice nominated The Brahma Bull for six awards. These included his DC movie Black Adam and the TV show centered on his life, Young Rock. Unfortunately for the actors and his millions of fans, he couldn’t land a single award. The DC actor lost out the Male Movie star and Action Movie star awards to Marvel’s Chris Hemsworth and Elizabeth Olsen, respectively. Top Gun: Maverick, which starred Tom Cruise, won the Action Movie Award over DJ’s Black Adam.
Netflix’s Never Have I Ever emerged as the Comedy Show of the Year. Singer Selena Gomez beat The Rock to win the Comedy TV Star for her role in Only Murders in the Building. While Noah Schnapp of Stranger Things triumphed over the $800 million worth Rock, in the Male TV star of the year category.
