Emmys: Twitter upset as announcer mispronounces Priyanka Chopra's name
Priyanka made a dazzling appearance at the awards.
She was seen wearing white custom-made Balmain feathered ensemble.
Giving moments for her fans to cheer, Priyanka went to the stage with Anthony Anderson to present the Award for Outstanding Variety Talk Series to John Oliver for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver at the Microsoft Theater on Sunday night.
However, it was the announcer pronouncing her name as "Chopa" that upset her fans.

One internet user Sajid posted: "Did this dude just call her "Priyanka Chopa"? wtf."
