Owen Cooper wins Emmy Award: “Adolescence” star goes into history

The British actor Owen Cooper (15) was honored on Sunday evening at the 77th awarding of the Emmy television award in Los Angeles for his representation of the Jamie Miller in the Netflix mini series “Adolescence” as the best support actor in the mini or anthology series/film. He became the latest male Emmy winner in a acting category.

The young person prevailed against Javier Bardem (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”), Rob Delaney (“Dying for Sex”), Peter Sarsgaard (“Presumed Innocent”), Bill Camp (“Presumed Innocent”) and Ashley Walters (“Adolescence”). “Stand up here is just so surreal. To be honest, when I started acting a few years ago, I hadn’t expected to ever be in the United States, let alone here,” said Cooper in his acceptance speech. “But I think tonight has proven that you can achieve everything in life when you listen, concentrated and leave your comfort zone. Three years ago I was nothing here. Now I am here. When you listen, concentrated and a little bit out of your comfort zone, who will it take care of when you disgrace a little?”

Owen Cooper came to the award ceremony accompanied by his parents. After his victory, he will quickly get back on a plane to be back at school on Wednesday. The teachers of his secondary school in Warrington released the star for a week so that he can fly to Hollywood for the big evening.
