Is the property manager or the owner responsible to pay money judgement awarded to tenant due to a lock out

The owner is responsible. The manager is the agent of the owner. Unless the manager was acting outside the scope of the agency, meaning his role as property manager, then the owner bears the responsibility. There must be facts that you have left out, because it seems irregular that the Court entered judgment against the manager. Given that, your recourse may be against the manager alone, or you may need to bring further proceedings to have the owner named as an additional judgment debtor.
