ADOLESCENCE star Owen Cooper has earned a major honor as the youngest male winner ever at the Emmys.
The actor nabbed the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

This was also the first nomination for the 15-year-old.
Owen tearfully hugged his parents and colleagues before approaching the stage where actress Sydney Sweeney presented him the gold trophy.
He then gave a heartfelt speech, acknowledging all that worked on the project.
His words touched host Nate Bargatze, who appeared to stop the countdown he’d set during his opening monologue, penalizing those who went over the allotted 45-seconds acceptance speeches.
The comedian jokingly threatened to take away money from his $100,000 donation to the Boys and Girls Club for every second an Emmy winner extended their speech.
Owen, however, didn’t have those same rules, despite it being an ongoing bit throughout the show.
Nate addressed the change of rules afterward, revealing he didn’t penalize the teenager, although his speech did go over.
Owen was up against some heavy hitters in the category, including his co-star Ashley Walters, Presumed Innocent’s Bill Camp and Peter Sarsgaard, Javier Bardem in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, and Rob Delaney for Dying for Sex.
Adolescence premiered on Netflix in March 2025, and also stars Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, and Faye Marsay.
The psychological drama had gained recognition not only for its intense storyline, but also for its impressive filming.
All four of the series’ episodes were shot in one continuous take, with no cuts.
