‘Adolescence’ Star Owen Cooper Becomes Youngest Emmy Winner Ever for Supporting Actor in Limited Series
Owen Cooper won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie Sunday for his work on the Netflix miniseries “Adolescence.”
Along with Cooper, nominees in the limited-series supporting actor category included Javier Bardem for his performance in Netflix’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” FX’s “Dying for Sex” actor Rob Delaney, Apple TV+’s “Presumed Innocent” star Peter Sarsgaard, Bill Camp, also of “Presumed Innocent,” and Netflix’s “Adolescence” actor Ashley Walters.
“It says my name on the statue, but it really belongs to all of the people who worked on the show,” Cooper said in his acceptance speech.
15-year-old English actor Cooper was nominated for playing Jamie Miller in the Netflix miniseries “Adolescence,” which was his breakout role. He has become the youngest-ever male acting winner in Emmy history.
