Global star, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, announced the Oscar 2021 nominations on Monday, March 15th, along with her singer husband Nick Jonas. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas made their fans go crazy when they came together to announce Oscar nominations. Incredibly talented Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have emerged as a global power couple. While most of us know Chopra’s credentials and her enviable filmography, Australian journalist Peter Ford seemed to be unaware of her credentials as an actor.
Earlier, Priyanka and Nick had revealed the nominees for the 2021 Oscars, and from Priyanka’s perspective, they killed it. An Aussie journalist questioned whether Priyanka and Nick were qualified enough to do the honors.
Peter Ford, who somewhat jokingly identifies as “the best & most widely heard entertainment reporter” in Australia and New Zealand, wrote on Twitter on Monday, March 15, “No disrespect to these two but I’m not sure their contribution to movies qualifies them to be announcing Oscar nominees.” Social media reacted heavily to the question and slammed the journalist. Fans quickly jumped to Priyanka’s defence and lashed out at the journalist. Following the backlash, he made his Twitter account private.
However, it was Priyanka’s reply that totally shut him down. Priyanka shared a video of her her illustrious career. PeeCee replied, “Would love your thoughts on what qualifies someone. Here are my 60+ film credentials for your adept consideration @mrpford.”
