Sam Heughan was not nominated for a Golden Globe on Thursday, but his co-star Caitriona Balfe was honored. He congratulated his onscreen wife shortly after the announcement.

“CONGRATS LOVELY!!!!! So deserved and what a catagory [sic]. Or should I say Caitagory... #BalfeForTheWin,” he wrote on Twitter.

Balfe plays Claire, the 20th century nurse who travels back in time and falls in love with 18th century Highlander Jamie (Heughan) on “Outlander.” The Starz drama has earned plenty of love from the Golden Globes over the past four seasons. In Season 1, the show was nominated for best drama and best supporting actor (Tobias Menzies) in addition to Balfe’s nod for best actress. Ever since, however, only Balfe has been nominated each year.

Though she has yet to win, Balfe still seems very excited about her fourth nomination. She took to Twitter to express her gratitude and congratulated her competition. She is nominated against Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), Golden Globes host Sandra Oh (“Killing Eve”), Keri Russell (“The Americans”) and her “Money Monster” co-star Julia Roberts (“Homecoming”). She also gave a shoutout to the cast and crew of “Outlander.”

If Balfe wins this year, it will be the first Golden Globe for the TV series.

“Outlander” Season 4 airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on Starz.
