Adolescence star Owen Cooper has made Emmys history by becoming one of the youngest ever to be nominated by the prestigious TV US television academy.
The 15-year-old British actor has bagged a nomination for best supporting actor in a limited/anthology series or TV movie. If he wins, Cooper will be the youngest male winner of an acting Emmy.
The teen will go up against his co-star Ashley Walters from the hit Netflix show, while two actresses from the critically-acclaimed series, Christine Tremarco and Erin Doherty, will compete in the equivalent supporting actress category.
The show's leading star, Stephen Graham, is up for best actor, while the four-parter about a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering a girl from his class, is also in the running for outstanding limited series. Jack Thorne, who created the drama with Graham, is nominated for a best writing prize.
