British actor Owen Cooper has made history at the Primetime Emmy Awards by becoming the youngest male winner of an acting Emmy at the age of 15.
The star of Netflix hit Adolescence was already the youngest ever to be nominated for an Emmy Award when he was chosen for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or TV movie.
“It’s just so surreal," Cooper said on stage. "Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn’t expect to be even in the United States, never mind here. So I think tonight proves that if you listen and you focus and you step out your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life.”
Adolescence also won most of the categories it had been nominated in, including Best Supporting Actress for Erin Doherty; Best Directing for Philip Barantini; Best Writing; and Best Lead Actor for Stephen Graham, who is also the show's co-creator. It also won the Best Limited or Anthology Series of the year.
Hannah Einbinder, who has been nominated for all four seasons of Hacks but never won, took home Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy.
She said she had become committed to a bit where “it was cooler to lose”.
“But this is cool too!” she shouted, then ended her speech by cursing the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency and saying “Free Palestine!”
Apple TV+'s The Studio was the biggest winner of the night, taking home Best Comedy Series as well as Best Actor in a Comedy Series for Seth Rogen.
Meanwhile HBO's medical drama The Pitt swept the board in the drama category, winning Best Drama Series as well as Best Actor for Noah Wyle and Best Supporting Actress for Katherine LaNasa.
