* ItsNotSupposedToWinOscars: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Johnson himself. In a [[https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/dwayne-johnson-the-pain-and-the-passion-that-fuel-the-rock-630076/ 2018 Rolling Stones interview]], he remarked that he has no interest in being a dramatic actor and doesn't believe his fans would be interested to see him in such works, with him preferring to do feel good action films and comedies. He'll even turn down film roles that are too serious or lacks a happy ending.
