Has 66+ Movies Strong and $800M Worth Dwayne Johnson Ever Been Awarded a ‘Prestigious’ Golden Globe Award?
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is perhaps not only the biggest name from WWE ever but is also one of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood currently. Throughout his 20+ years in Hollywood, with over 66 movies and countless other projects, he has won many awards. The awards, movies, and the love of people have helped him amass a wealth of over $800 million. But is it enough to win over the hearts of critics? Has he ever won anything at the Golden Globe Awards?
Dwayne Johnson’s journey to the critics of Golden Globes
To start, let us understand the Golden Globes first. The Golden Globe Awards, presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), honor excellence in film and television since 1944. They cover categories like Best Motion Picture, Best Actor/Actress, and Best Director.
The awards are considered second to none except Oscar and Emmy awards. The HFPA recently conducted the 81st edition of their award show at The Beverly Hilton which featured films like Barbie and Oppenheimer.
Now, to answer the question regarding Dwayne Johnson? Despite, having worked for decades in various roles, Dwayne Johnson has never won a Golden Globe award. He was once nominated for Best Actor in 2002 for his role in the made-for-TV movie, The Scorpion King.
In The Rock’s defense, Golden Globe awards often lack diversity in their recipients, something they have been criticized for in 2022. Well, Dwayne Johnson is known as an action star and hence it is quite possible for him to not be even nominated. However, he has won many other significant awards that showcase his acting prowess and popularity among fans.
