Priyanka Chopra Blasts Reporter Who Questioned Her Qualification To Announce Oscar Nomination

Priyanka Chopra isn’t here for the haters. An Australian reporter recently questioned if the “Quantico” alum and her husband Nick Jonas were qualified to announce the 2021 Academy Award nominations. “No disrespect to these two but I’m not sure their contribution to movies qualifies them to be announcing Oscar nominees,” the now-deleted tweet reads. The “Baywatch” star clapped back in a tweet that reads, “Would love your thoughts on what qualifies someone. Here are my 60+ film credentials for your adept consideration.”

I know this isn't the most earth-shattering issue confronting the planet, but wtf? It seems like the only real qualification is that she's able to read.

I was a fan of Priyanka in her Indian films, and was always impressed by her performance.

She can do drama, comedy, romance, action, is an amazing dancer, and in public appearances is always looking totally put together and well appointed.

She has talent but more importantly she has drive.
