"This would only be a public-relations win, which is a far cry from a concrete future media contract," she said.Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube’s "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered," agreed with Fordwich and believes this nomination will help Markle's career."The nomination is helpful because it gives Meghan something tangible to point to in meetings with studios, networks, and advertisers.
