'Outlander': Sam Heughan is as brilliant as Caitriona Balfe, so why'd he get snubbed again at the Golden Globe nominations?

Caitriona Balfe has managed a streak of nominations for the Golden Globes Best Actress category. We wonder why Sam Heughan, who plays her lover, hasn't ever been nominated yet.
UPDATED DEC 13, 2018

Starz's time-traveling series 'Outlander,' was quick to gain popularity throughout the world ever since its premiere in 2014 despite speculation the viewers would be niche. Drawing parallels with massive hits such as 'Game of Thrones,' Outlander contended at award shows including The Emmys and the Golden Globes and it continues to do so, but not without glitches with hardly any fault of their own.

With the recent list of nominees released for the upcoming 2019 Golden Globes, Caitriona Balfe, the heroine of 'Outlander', who plays the role of Claire Randall Fraser, secured her fourth nomination in a row. But much to fans' dismay, her equally excellent co-actor Sam Heughan, was snubbed off the nomination list again.
