Dominating both the ring and the box office, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has carved a remarkable path from WWE superstar to Hollywood A-lister. After twenty years and over 66 movies, his bank account boasts a cool $800 million and multiple awards. However, has he ever won the prestigious Emmy Awards? What about his show ‘Young Rock’? Let’s find out.

Dwayne Johnson and the prestigious Emmy Awards

The Emmy Awards, organised by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, held annually since 1949, celebrate excellence in American television programming. From acting and directing to writing and design, awards are given for both primetime and daytime shows, with separate ceremonies for each. For a layman, it can be considered as The Oscar of Television.

The 75th edition of Emmy Awards 2024 was held recently on January 15th at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, following a delay from September due to Hollywood labour issues. Succession and The Bear Show led the list with six major wins each including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Comedy Series.

Now, to answer the question if the Rock has ever won Emmy Awards? The answer is, No. Since Dwayne Johnson mostly works in Hollywood and the Emmy Awards are given for TV shows, it is difficult for him to win it. However, there have been a few instances where he has worked on the small screen. One such show is Young Rock.

The show was created by Dwayne Johnson, Jeff Chiang, and Nahnatchka Khan, airing on NBC from 2021 to 2023 for a total of 3 seasons and 37 episodes. The show is based on the real-life story of The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson and features The People’s Champion as himself and produced by Seven Bucks Productions.

Despite a rating of 8.1 on IMDb, a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes, 2 TV awards and multiple nominations, the show did not win any Emmy awards. It was not even nominated for any Emmy awards yet, and neither has Dwayne Johnson.

In addition to Emmys, Dwayne Johnson has not won other top-tier awards like Oscar and Golden Globe awards. However, he was once nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in The Scorpion King movie.
