The glamorous world of Hollywood was abuzz with excitement as the crème de la crème of the entertainment industry gathered for the highly anticipated 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. And, sweethearts, it was a night to remember! The evening was filled with stunning performances, show-stopping fashion, and jaw-dropping surprises that left everyone talking.

But one young starlet stole the spotlight – literally! 15-year-old Owen Cooper, the heartthrob from Warrington, England, took home the coveted Best Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie award for his chilling role as Jamie Miller in Netflix's four-part series "Adolescence." Talk about making an entrance!

Owen was also seen chatting to his co-star and Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie winner Erin Doherty, who has changed out of her dazzling black gown in favour of a funky Louis Vuitton shellsuit

This talented teenager has been making waves in the industry since he was just 14 years old. Owen's captivating performance as Jamie, a murder suspect, earned him not only critical acclaim but also the admiration of his peers and industry experts alike. As he walked away with the trophy, beaming with pride, it was clear that this young star is one to watch.

But Owen wasn't alone in his moment of glory. His co-star, Erin Doherty, who played clinical psychologist Briony Ariston in "Adolescence," also took home the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. The two stars were seen celebrating together, and it was clear that their chemistry on screen translates to real-life friendships.

As the evening unfolded, it became apparent that Owen's night was just getting started. He was spotted larking around at Netflix's Emmys after-party, where he even managed to sneak in a selfie with none other than Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos and "Adolescence" creators Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne! Talk about rubbing shoulders with the A-list!

Owen's infectious energy had everyone in stitches as he danced the night away with his co-stars. Who knew this young actor was also a natural dancer? We were delighted to see him letting loose and having the time of his life.

But what really caught our attention was Owen's humble beginnings.

And it seems like this young star is taking his newfound fame very seriously. Owen's parents, Noreen and Andy, were overjoyed as they watched their son walk away with the award. They even made sure to be by his side for the after-party, cheering him on every step of the way.
