Owen Cooper, star of “Adolescence,” has made Emmys history, securing a nomination from the Television Academy as one of the youngest nominees ever.
The 15-year-old British actor is nominated for best supporting actor in a limited/anthology series or TV movie. If he wins, Cooper will become the youngest male recipient of an acting Emmy.
Cooper will compete against his co-star Ashley Walters from the acclaimed Netflix series. Christine Tremarco and Erin Doherty, also from the show, are nominated in the corresponding supporting actress category.
Stephen Graham, the show’s lead, is nominated for best actor. Furthermore, “Adolescence,” a four-part series centered on a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering a classmate, is nominated for outstanding limited series. Jack Thorne, who co-created the drama with Graham, is nominated for best writing.
“Adolescence” garnered a respectable 13 nominations, but the workplace satire “Severance” leads the pack with 27 nominations, followed by the Batman spin-off “The Penguin” (24), and the black comedy drama “The White Lotus” (23).
Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, and Aimee Lou Wood, all from “The White Lotus,” are competing for the supporting actress in a drama series award.
Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Harrison Ford (“Shrinking”), and Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”) are among the nominees for the top acting prizes in the comedy categories.
Brunson is also nominated for a writing award, while Ford receives his first Emmy nomination at 83.
“The Studio,” “The Bear,” “Abbott Elementary,” and “Shrinking” are among the contenders for best comedy series.
