The Rock was so shocked by the Oscars screw up he almost did ‘The People’s Eyebrow’

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson does his best to separate his acting career from his WWE career, but on Sunday night they merged when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway incorrectly awarded the Oscar for “Best Picture” to La La Land.

This isn’t a full People’s Eyebrow, but it’s getting close. At least closer to anything we’ve seen in the wild before. This reaction shot of everyone realizing they were witnessing the biggest screw up in Academy Awards history was just perfect.

Meryl Streep saw a ghost.

Salma Hayak was stunned.

And Ben Affleck, well, he just wanted to take a cue from Matt Damon.
