Owen Cooper Nominated for Youngest Male Emmy Win

Owen Cooper, a 15-year-old actor from Warrington, is on the brink of making Emmy history as potentially the youngest male winner for his role as Jamie Miller in Netflix's critically acclaimed drama Adolescence. The show, centered on a teenager accused of murder, received 13 Emmy nominations and has already won Best New Drama at the National TV Awards, where Cooper also won Best Drama Performance. Ahead of the awards, Cooper has attended Hollywood pre-Emmy parties with his parents, receiving support from co-star Jake Gyllenhaal, who gifted him a 'Lucky Duck' for good luck. His nomination is seen as a major breakthrough, with industry experts noting that his category placement could give him an edge in a highly competitive race. Other British actors, including Stephen Graham, Gary Oldman, Bella Ramsey, and Colin Farrell, are also nominated this year. Cooper expressed excitement about the experience and revealed on The Tonight Show that he hopes to sit next to Gyllenhaal at the ceremony.
