Adolescence star Owen Cooper, 15, could make history as the youngest male Emmy Award winner EVER as show sweeps the board with 13 nominations
Adolescence star Owen Cooper has become one of the youngest Emmy Award nominees ever after the shortlist for this year's awards was announced on Tuesday. At just 15-years-old the Warrington school will be the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the 'TV Oscars ' if he scoops the accolade for his role in one of Netflix 's most-watched series ever which has swept the board with 13 nominations. Owen has been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie category at the Primetime after he starred alongside his on screen dad Stephen Graham. He will go up against his co-star Ashley Walters who has been nominated for his first Emmy in the same category after his role as DI Luke Bascombe. In his very first acting job, Owen played Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old arrested by armed police on suspicion of murder, in the gripping series which had the nation talking earlier this year. The youngest person ever to have won a Primetime Emmy is Roxana Zal, who at just 14 scored the Best Supporting Actress gong in 1984 for her role TV movie Something About Amelia. Meanwhile Scott Jacoby is the youngest male, making history when he bagged the Best Supporting Actor at 16 in 1973 for drama That Certain Summer. The show is also nominated in the Best Limited or Anthology Series alongside Black Mirror, Dying for Sex, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and The Penguin. MailOnline previously revealed that Adolescence star would be entered in the Best Supporting Actor category, as opposed to Best Actor, which experts hailed as a 'genius move' and said would massively boost his chances of winning. Also in the category with Owen and Ashley is Javier Bardem, for his role in Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, Bill Camp and Peter Sarsgaard, for their resepective roles in Presumed Innocent and Rob Delaney, for his role in Dying For Sex. Speaking about his nomination, Ashley gushed: 'This is such an honour. This nomination means the world to me — not just as recognition, but as a reminder of how far I've come. 'It's for everyone who stood by me through the highs and the lows, who believed in me when I needed it most. 'It's a testament to the power of perseverance. Dreams are important — but it's the hard work, the setbacks, the growth, and the consistency that make them real. 'Five years ago, this felt out of reach. Today, I'm incredibly proud — not just for myself, but to stand alongside a group of artists I admire deeply. The Mail's Parents versus The Internet podcast featuring Adolescence creator Jack Thorne is available now 'What we made together is something I'll carry with me forever, and to see it acknowledged on this level is truly special. 'Thank you to the Emmys for this nomination. To my wife and kids — thank you for grounding me and giving me purpose. To my family and friends, for being my foundation. 'To my team, who've worked tirelessly behind the scenes. And to the entire cast and crew — thank you for your brilliance and your heart. This moment is for all of us.' Owen, who hails from a proudly working class estate in central Warrington, was chosen from 500 candidates for the role of Jamie. It was his first-ever acting job and no one in his family has a background in the industry. He is being supported on his meteoric rise by dad Andy, an IT worker, and mum Noreen, a carer. Speaking about the change in their lives, Noreen said: 'It's such a shock, but we're getting on with it.' Last month Owen revealed he had even received praise from one huge Hollywood star, none other than Leonardo DiCaprio. During his appearance on Jimmy Fallon's talk show, Owen revealed the Oscar winner left him a video message when he was with his onscreen dad Stephen Graham. He said: 'Stephen Graham sent me a video yesterday and it's Leonardo DiCaprio sat next to him and he was saying "Hey Owen, I'm such a big fan of Adolescene". 'And I was like "What!"' Brand and culture expert Nick Ede predicted Owen could follow in Timothée Chalamet's footsteps and become 'the toast of Hollywood'. He told MailOnline: 'The phenomenal success of Adolescence has taken the TV world by storm and critics have been raving about Owen's stand-out performance. 'The Hollywood elite love a rags-to-riches story and, at 15 and his first ever role, this young actor who was brought up in humble surroundings could soon become Hollywood's hottest property and follow the path of many other child stars who have become household names, like Millie Bobby Brown or Timothee Chalamet. 'I'm sure writers will already be presenting his agents with scripts and synopsis that will feature him.' The Emmy awards ceremony will take place in LA on September 14.

Before Her Emmy Nom, ‘Adolescence' Star Erin Doherty Delighted in Accolades of a Different Kind: People Simply Saying ‘Thank You'
First-time Emmy nominee Erin Doherty cooked up a pretty good distraction — literally — when it came to nominations morning. The 'Adolescence' star, nominated for Best Limited/Movie Supporting Actress for her work in the smash Netflix hit, was actually making a cake when the nominations rolled in on Tuesday. 'I was made very aware of [the nominations] and have been made very aware of it, from my girlfriend in particular, she was like, 'Are you going to watch?' And I was like, 'No, I'm not!,'' Doherty told IndieWire with a laugh. 'I am an anxious person, so I was like, I'll stay away.' I was actually making a cake! And waiting for my agent to call because she said she would.' More from IndieWire 2025 Emmy Nominations Are Here: See the Full List of Nominees How to Watch the 2025 Emmy Nominations Announced Live When Doherty's agent called? Incredible news: not just her nomination, but 13 overall for the limited series, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, plus acting noms for co-creator Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters, and Christine Tremarco. 'I'm so happy for the show, I'm so proud to be a part of it,' a giddy Doherty said over Zoom. Each episode of the series is designed to look and feel like a single-take, one-hour slice of time. Breakout star Cooper is the driving force of two of those episodes, including the gobsmacking third episode, in which his character Jamie (being held in a youth detention facility before his trial for murdering a classmate) sits down with forensic psychologist Briony Ariston (Doherty) for an unnerving interview. While the pair rehearsed for two weeks before shooting, much has been made of the improvisational magic Cooper and Doherty made. They shot two takes a day, five days straight. By the end of it, Cooper told IndieWire previously, he was tired. So he yawned, and Doherty ran with it, asking 'Am I boring you?' It was the last take, and the one that made it to air. What does Doherty remember of that? 'It was so intense and claustrophobic being in that room together, and the whole thing just required us to be present and to bounce off each other,' she said. 'So that by the time it ended — and, if you've seen it, [you know] the episode ends in such a climactic release of emotions for me — I left that room and was hugging [series director] Phil [Barantini] and Owen and all our crew, I was just kind of happy to be out of there. I think your body can't distinguish from what is true and what is false. Genuinely, we created such an authentic, horrible environment that I just remember being so grateful to have come to an end.' It was only after filming had ended, Doherty said, did she have the time and space to reflect back on what they had made. 'I knew that it was important and vital, but it was only afterwards that I was like, I think we might have made something really special there,' she said. Watching the show as a fan also offered Doherty continued perspective. 'I was kind of in my own little bubble within the realm of the show that I was like, 'I want to be an audience member of this. … There is no way I'm depriving myself of this opportunity,' she said. 'The whole thing was obviously harrowing and disturbing, but I'm so grateful that I got to sit and receive it in that way, because now I get to have those conversations in the world [with other audience members].' Those conversations run the gamut, she said, from longer chats to quick interactions, the latter of which might be her favorite. 'What I'm so kind of taken aback by is that a lot of the conversations are just random people on the street, on the tube, being like, 'Thank you for that show,'' she said. 'That is such a gorgeous communication to have with someone, like that's all I'd ever wished to say to people when specific stories have been told that have really hit me. … I think people are just grateful that the conversation is now on the table because it's such a tricky subject matter and one that I think we were all quite afraid of.' She added, 'What this show is so great at is, it doesn't actually go, 'And here are the answers,' because we don't have those answers. We didn't need the answers, we just needed someone to broach the conversation. And I think that's where thank you's come from.' The series follows in the footsteps in another major Netflix hit from last year: fellow limited series 'Baby Reindeer' pulled in 11 nominations in 2024, walking away with six, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. What is it about Netflix that makes it such a perfect home for these heartbreaking, harrowing, ripped-from-real-life stories? 'It's gotta be the bravery to just, trust in audiences, in their intelligence, in their want to and desire to to be given these really raw human stories,' the actress said. 'I think we're ready for it. We always have been, but there's always going to be that dynamic with TV and film of like, 'It it going to put bums in seats? Is it gonna sell? It's all about, will people watch this thing and, I think this show proves that we want these really authentic stories. We have a hunger for it.' That's, Doherty thinks, why shows like 'Adolescence' and 'Baby Reindeer' truly succeed. 'That's why it absolutely hit the stratosphere in a way that no one was anticipating, because there's such courage behind there,' Doherty said, 'I'm so grateful for Netflix for having the ability to just [let] … Jack and Stephen write this story in as true a way as you can, and that's it. There's such integrity within storytelling, it clearly has an impact. … Sometimes you just have to have faith, like, in the truth and the purity of something. That, for me, is what good art does.' Wait, what kind of cake? Doherty laughed. 'It's actually a fridge cake, because it's really hot at the minute,' she said. 'I've never made it before, and it's actually my birthday tomorrow. So I'm making my own birthday cake, which I'm chuffed about, because I really wanted to make it!' Talk about a great birthday. All episodes of 'Adolescence' are now streaming on Netflix.

Adolescence star Ashley Walters, 43, becomes a first-time Emmy Nominee for outstanding supporting actor in a limited series following success of Netflix's most watched series
Ashley Walters has received his first Emmy nomination for his supporting role as DI Luke Bascombe in the hit Netflix series Adolescence. The Emmy nominations were announced on Tuesday with the four part series sweeping the board with 13 nominations. And Ashley is nominated in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie category alongside his co-star Owen Cooper. At just 15-years-old the Warrington school will be the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the 'TV Oscars ' if he scoops the accolade. Speaking about his nomination, Ashley gushed: 'This is such an honour. This nomination means the world to me — not just as recognition, but as a reminder of how far I've come. 'It's for everyone who stood by me through the highs and the lows, who believed in me when I needed it most. 'It's a testament to the power of perseverance. Dreams are important — but it's the hard work, the setbacks, the growth, and the consistency that make them real. 'Five years ago, this felt out of reach.

And to the entire cast and crew — thank you for your brilliance and your heart. This moment is for all of us.' The show is also nominated in the Best Limited or Anthology Series alongside Black Mirror, Dying for Sex, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and The Penguin. In the show, viewers saw how teen Jamie Miller's perception of girls had been radicalised through content he was viewing online, and also showed the vast amount of social media consumed by teenagers at school. Ashley previously shared that realisations while filming the show have led him to curtail his youngest son's screen time. He added: '[As parents] we're really about uplifting and pushing the things that they love. He's an animator, so he has a lot of animation software on his iPad and spends his time doing that. 'But sometimes, he's not animating when we think he is. We've been very conscious about that and drawing back on his screen time. 'Half the week, he can't even touch his device. And then actually, it's about me stepping in as a dad and saying, ''Let's go fishing, let's do more stuff,'' so he doesn't want to be on there as much as he is.' 'No one wants to be the ogre parent that comes in and goes, 'All right, that's it, everything off.' 'I don't want them to feel like they're not the same as their friends. You get caught up in all of that stuff as a parent, but I feel like around the world this show has allowed parents, to go, ''Fu*k that s**t. 'Adolescence says this could happen. Now we're going to start having this conversation.'' I think that's a good thing.'
