THE ROCK REFLECTS ON NOT BEING NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR

The Rock sat down for an interview with Esquire and when The Smashing Machine came up, he admitted he was hoping for an Academy Award nomination:

"It would have been incredible to get nominated for an Oscar. I realized very quickly that it’s a rare thing to reach this pinnacle where you’re even having these conversations. And it’s exciting! It would have been amazing. I wish it happened. But it didn’t. But in no uncertain terms did I ever think, ‘Oh, that doesn’t matter.’ I always thought it mattered. And it has lit a fire in my spine, which is: Let’s go back to work."
