It’s definitely no secret that Caitriona Balfe is one talented lady. She shines in everything she does. And us Outlander fans love to support the cast in their other projects.

Caitriona’s most recent project outside of Outlander has been Belfast. She played Ma in the Kenneth Branagh movie. As someone who’s watched the lovely actress in the film, she certainly knocked it out of the park.

Whether it’s Outlander or another project, we’ve definitely felt like our favorite actors have been snubbed before. From the Critics Choice Super Awards to the Emmys, they just haven’t been receiving the recognition they deserve.

But now, the Irish actress is getting that recognition in the form of a prestigious award nomination.

We’re so proud of Caitriona! Getting a SAG Award nomination is a big deal. We’ve known for years just how talented she is. It’s great to see that the SAG Awards see it too. And to make it extra special, this is the first time she gets nominated for the accolade.

The other nominees in Caitriona’s category are Cate Blanchett, Ariana DeBose, Kristen Dunst, and Ruth Negga. Belfast is up against CODA, Don’t Look Up, House of Gucci, and King Richard.

Both the actress and movie are up against some stiff competition. We wish there could be more than one winner! But I’m confident in Caitriona and this wonderful movie. Whatever the outcome may be, we know who the true winner is in our hearts.

Make sure to tune into the SAG Awards on Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. CT to support our beloved Caitriona!
