15-Year-Old Owen Cooper Aims to Shatter Emmy Records as Youngest Male Winner!
TEEN HEARTTHROB ON THE RED CARPET: 15-YEAR-OLD OWWEN COOPER SHINES AT PRE-EMMY PARTIES
The streets of Hollywood were abuzz with excitement on Friday night as the most talked-about teenager in town, Owen Cooper, made his red-carpet debut alongside his doting parents. The 15-year-old Warrington schoolboy, who rose to fame for his chilling portrayal of troubled teen killer Jamie Miller in Netflix's hit series Adolescence, is set to make history at the upcoming Emmy Awards.
Cooper, who was just 14 when the show was filmed, has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, a feat that has left fans and experts alike in awe. If he takes home the coveted award, he'll become the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the "TV Oscars." Currently, Scott Jacoby holds the record, having won at just 16 for his role in That Certain Summer in 1973.
The pre-Emmy party circuit was abuzz with excitement as Cooper and his entourage made their way through the crowded rooms. His parents, Noreen and Andy, couldn't help but beam with pride as they watched their son mingle with the who's who of Hollywood. Stephen Graham, up for Best Actor for his role in Adolescence, was also spotted at the party, rubbing shoulders with Cooper.
The Netflix bash was a Who's Who of A-listers, with Sharon Horgan, nominated for her work on Bad Sisters, posing for photos alongside Monica Lewinsky at the WME party. Meanwhile, Gary Oldman, Aimee Lou Wood, Jason Isaacs, Colin Farrell, and Bella Ramsey were all vying for top honors in various categories.
Adolescence has been sweeping up awards left and right, including two major prizes at the 2025 National TV Awards. Cooper's win as Best Drama Performance was a particularly notable upset, beating out his co-star Stephen Graham to take home the coveted award.
In a pre-recorded video message played during the NTA ceremony, Cooper expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his co-stars, collaborators, and fans. "I never could have believed that this show would change my life in the way it has," he said, visibly choked up with emotion. "It's amazing to see how powerful and impactful a show can be when everyone comes together to create something special."
Cooper's win at the NTAs was seen as a major boost for his Emmy chances, and experts are tipping him to take home the award on Sunday. TheScholarlyNote.com previously revealed that Cooper would be entered in the Best Supporting Actor category, a move hailed as "genius" by insiders who believe it will significantly boost his chances of winning.
But Cooper's not going up against easy competition – he'll be facing off against Ashley Walters, nominated for his first Emmy for his role as DI Luke Bascombe in Adolescence. Other contenders include Javier Bardem for Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, Bill Camp and Peter Sarsgaard for Presumed Innocent and Rob Delaney for Dying For Sex.
Adolescence is also a major contender in the Best Limited or Anthology Series category, where it'll face stiff competition from Black Mirror, Dying for Sex, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, and The Penguin.
As Cooper takes to the red carpet on Sunday night, all eyes will be on him as he makes his bid for Emmy glory. Will he break the record and become the youngest-ever male winner? Only time (and a few votes) will tell!
