Outlander notes: Sam Heughan’s new number; new show nomination
Let’s kick things off here with Sam, who posted (see the Instagram message HERE) a way for fans to interact with him directly via a phone number. For those who don’t know, what Sam is utilizing now is the Community App, which is a way for people of note to interact with their fans different than ever before. It’s all as simple as a text message in a lot of cases, and it spares you the hassle of having to log onto various social-network platforms, which is not often fun within this present era. There are a number of other celebrities who are also leveraging this platform, including the likes of Kerry Washington, Jeff Goldblum, and others. We’ve already seen through Sam’s Instagram Stories that he has responded to some texts personally, so there is value to signing up for this if you’d like.
Want to vote for Outlander at the BAFTA Scotland Awards? Voting is open until 5:00 p.m. local time on November 18, and Outlander is nominated alongside some other fantastic series. (We highly recommend The Nest, in the event you haven’t seen it yet.) We do think Outlander is the runaway favorite to win the prize here, largely because of the size of its following.
Unfortunately, Outlander did find it snubbed elsewhere at the Scottish awards show — quite the bummer, given how many times it has been snubbed elsewhere.
As per usual, we want to hear some of your thoughts on this new story below! Meanwhile, remember here to keep coming back for some other insight all about the series.
