What were you doing at 15? British actor Owen Cooper was busy making Emmy history.
The Netflix breakout star of Adolescence just became the youngest male ever to snag a Primetime Emmy.
He picked up Best Supporting Actor for his role as a schoolboy accused of murder.
“I was nothing three years ago — now I’m here,” he said, his voice cracking onstage.
Adolescence dominated the night, scooping up trophies for Best Limited Series, writing, directing and acting.
Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty were also honored.
Graham, who co-wrote the drama, called his win proof that “any dream is possible.”
Underdogs Steal The Show At The Emmys
Doherty gushed she’d be “banging on about Owen Cooper and Adolescence for the rest of my life.”
And it wasn’t just Netflix’s night. Hollywood satire The Studio smashed the comedy record with 13 wins.
Seth Rogen joking he’d never won anything before “except a used bowling trophy.”
Meanwhile, medical thriller The Pitt clinched Best Drama Series, with stars Katherine LaNasa and Noah Wyle taking acting prizes.
Severance actor Tramell Tillman dedicated his trophy to his mom.
The ceremony closed on a warm note — host Nate Bargatze’s charity challenge ended with a surprise $250,000 donation.
In a year of headlines, the Emmys proved one thing: even in Hollywood, underdogs can still steal the show.
