Sam Heughan’s brave and soulful work on the hit show Outlander has earned him Emmy Award buzz, and rightfully so. The dark, emotional depths he had to go to are unparalleled by any other leading man this TV season. His performance in the season one finale elicited overwhelmingly intense emotion among viewers—who, one week later, probably still have no tears left to give. In an interview with E! News, Heughan discussed the Emmy rumors, saying, “It’s kind of a shock. You don’t think about that at all when you’re filming it obviously, and you’re just trying to do the best work you can. And I think if we are being talked about in any sort of capacity, it’s just because everyone is working their butts off on the show, and everyone’s doing a really good job.”
