The 2025 Emmy nominations are in, with Netflix’s Adolescence star Owen Cooper continuing his record-breaking streak.
The 15-year-old actor has become the youngest of all time to secure an outstanding supporting actor in a limited series or anthology series nomination after his breakout performance as 13-year-old murder suspect Jamie in the hit series.
The acclaimed show that swept the globe has picked up six nominations, joining a high-calibre mix of nominees including The White Lotus, Severance and Hacks, all of which have an award-winning history.
The young actor, for whom this was his first official role, has surpassed current record-holder Scott Jacoby, who was 16 years old when he was nominated for 1972 TV movie That Certain Summer.
In Owen’s category, he is joined by Javier Bardem for Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, Bill Camp for Presumed Innocent, Rob Delaney for Dying For Sex, Peter Sarsgaard for Presumed Innocent and Ashley Walters for Adolescence.
