HIT TV show Outlander has been sensationally snubbed a this year's Scottish BAFTA Awards.
The huge production has signficantly boosted the TV and film industry in Scotland yet it failed to get any nominations ahead of the 20th Bafta ceremony in Glasgow which honours the very best talent in film, television and games produced in the country.
Many fans took to Twitter to express their disappointed after the announcement was made.
Here is thoughts every Outlander fan has after hearing BAFTA Scotland snubbed the show.
1. You do know it is set in Scotland, right?
2. You do know it is filmed in Scotland, right?
3. You have heard the theme tune? It's the Skye Boat song...you can't get any more Scottish than that...
4. You do know it has given a lot of actors work in Scotland?
5 Did we mention the tourists?
6. I mean c'mon BAFTA have you seen Sam Heughan?
7. He's made tartan fashionable again.
8. And everyone wants to learn Gaelic.
9. Again BAFTA, just look at Sam Heughan!
10. And the love story...
11. In fact, it's SO good...there are two love stories...
12. Do you even know the plot BAFTA?
13. And how Jamie Fraser played by Sam Heughan made us cry after evil Captain Jack Randall, played by Tobias Menzies, did the unthinkable.
14. Never mind a BAFTA, give Sam Heughan the Oscar.
15. Captain Jack Randall puts the B in Bad - how can that go unnoticed?
16. And let's not forget Claire Randall/Fraser, played by Caitriona Balfe. We just love her.
17. She's like Beyonce...all the women who independent.
18. We bet if Game of Thrones was set in Scotland, it would get all the glory.
19. Shame on you BAFTA. Shame on you.
20. PS, Sam we are here for you!
