Reacting to the nomination, Porter took note of the other females in the category.

“The coolest thing is out of the five people in the category three are females and I just feel like that’s very fitting after International Women’s Day.

Porter also joked about how she would celebrate.

“What time is it? Can I crack open a bottle of wine yet? Maybe I’ll just spike my coffee.”
