Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is still chasing his first Academy Award nomination. 🎬🏆

Despite receiving critical praise for his dramatic turn as MMA legend Mark Kerr in A24’s The Smashing Machine, Johnson was not listed among the nominees for the 2026 Oscars. The Best Actor category instead featured heavy hitters like Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael B. Jordan.

While Johnson missed out on the acting nod, the film did receive recognition, earning a nomination for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

Do you think The Rock deserved a nomination?
