Outlander snubbed once more when it comes to the Emmys

As an avid fan of Outlander, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment and frustration every time Emmy nominations roll around and my beloved series is once again overlooked. It’s become a bit of a tradition, isn’t it? And every year, fans like me are left wondering why, despite the show’s undeniable quality and devoted following, it seems to be consistently snubbed by the Emmys.


As an avid Outlander fan, I can’t help but feel disappointed yet again as the Emmys have overlooked our beloved series in their nominations. We fans are left feeling frustrated and puzzled, wondering why this consistently high-quality show keeps getting passed over. Is there perhaps some unexplored factor at play that prevents Outlander from receiving the recognition it deserves?

A part of me wonders if certain individuals may have irritated some people connected to the Emmy Awards. But it’s more plausible that various other circumstances were at play.

Did Starz put Outlander forward for contention?

The series was put forward for seven considerations. They were:

As a huge fan of Outlander, I’ve had the pleasure of watching Sam Heughan bring the complex character of Jamie Fraser to life on screen. His portrayal is so captivating and authentic that it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the role. It’s no surprise then that he deserves recognition for his outstanding performance as Best Lead Actor.

The Emmy Awards didn’t nominate “the show” for Best Drama Series, nor did they nominate Caitriona Balfe for Best Supporting Actress, as stated in the Gold Derby list. Therefore, neither the show nor Balfe were overlooked by the Emmys; it was Starz that didn’t submit their work for consideration.

Why is Outlander constantly snubbed?

Recently, “Outlander” received its most recent Emmy nomination in 2018, specifically for Outstanding Costume Design. However, the show hasn’t been recognized since then.

It’s unlikely that the absence of nominations has anything to do with being overlooked, but rather the outstanding quality of other shows in contention. Shows like “Shogun” and “Fallout” are just a few examples of the exceptional content available across streaming platforms today. With so many impressive shows vying for recognition, it’s no surprise that the Emmys are primarily honoring streaming productions.

An alternative perspective suggests that the release schedule might be a factor. In the summer of 2023, the first part of Outlander’s seventh season was unveiled. In contrast, most other nominated series premiered their episodes in the year 2024. Consequently, these more recent shows may have been more prominent when it came to voters considering their nominations.

As a long-time television enthusiast with a particular fondness for romance and fantasy genres, I’ve followed the Emmy nominations with great interest this year. However, I can’t help but notice the notable absence of shows like “Outlander” from the list. With its rich storyline, compelling characters, and captivating performances, I’ve been hooked since the first episode.

It’s disheartening when our preferred television series gets overlooked in award ceremonies. Yet, isn’t this a common occurrence? And if you’re similar to me, the accolades hold little significance. Awards haven’t ever guided my judgment on what constitutes excellent TV. Instead, I tend to enjoy shows that rarely make it to the award stage.
