Priyanka Chopra Jonas has secured an Emmy nomination for her Prime Video action-comedy Heads of State, which earned a spot in the Outstanding Television Movie category at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards. The film, co-starring John Cena and Idris Elba, is among five contenders vying for the top honor.
