Netflix’s ‘Adolescence’ Steals the Show
While Sofia battled her allergy, Netflix had one of its biggest Emmy nights ever. The streaming giant’s psychological drama Adolescence dominated the awards, picking up multiple trophies including:
- Outstanding Limited Series
- Stephen Graham - Lead Actor in a Limited Series
- Erin Doherty - Lead Actress in a Limited Series
- Owen Cooper - Supporting Actor in a Limited Series
- Philip Barantini - Outstanding Directing
- Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne - Outstanding Writing
In total, the show secured up to eight wins depending on the category counts reported, making it Netflix’s crown jewel of the night.
Owen Cooper Makes Emmy History
Among the highlights was 15-year-old Owen Cooper’s record-breaking win, as he became the youngest-ever male actor to win an Emmy in any acting category. His performance as Jamie Miller in Adolescence has been praised worldwide, and his emotional acceptance speech won hearts at the Peacock Theatre. “Standing up here… wow this is so surreal,” he said. “Tonight proves that if you listen and you focus and you step out of your comfort you can achieve anything in life.” In a surprise twist, HBO’s The White Lotus, which was expected to dominate, left empty-handed.
