Adolescence star Owen Cooper makes Emmys history



British actor Owen Cooper has become the youngest male ever to win an Emmy Award, in a night dominated by Netflix's acclaimed drama Adolescence.

Cooper, 15, was named best supporting actor in a limited series for his portrayal of a schoolboy accused of murdering a classmate.

The four-part drama also won best limited series, as well as prizes for its directing and writing, and acting prizes for Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty.

In his acceptance speech, Cooper said: "Standing up here is just, wow, it's just so surreal.
