However, an Australian entertainment journalist Peter Ford seemed to have a problem as he felt that they both did not deserve to get this opportunity. He took to his Twitter account and wrote, “No disrespect to these two but I’m not sure their contribution to movies qualifies them to be announcing Oscar nominees.”

While responding to another Twitter user, Peter Ford also wrote that they both may have successful careers but they have nothing to do with the movie business.

The “Bajirao Mastani” actress also took to Twitter and shared her complete IMDb page in a tweet in response to Peter Ford with the caption, “Would love your thoughts on what qualifies someone. Here are my 60+ film credentials for your adept consideration @mrpford”.

Till now, Peter Ford had also attracted the attention of Priyanka Chopra’s fans and one of them asked Ford whether he had watched Priyanka’s acting in “Barfi”. While answering the fan, Peter Ford agreed that Priyanka’s credits are extensive and he had no idea about them but he also added that her contribution to Hollywood is minimal. He further asked about eligibility of Nick Jonas and said that though Priyanka is a very successful woman, he still feels the same and there is nothing personal about it.

Soon, Peter Ford changed his Twitter account settings to protected and but there were some who took the screenshots:
