Adolescence star Owen Cooper has been named best supporting actor in a limited series, making him the youngest winner in the category.
The 15-year-old actor, who plays Jamie Miller in the Netflix series, said he only started taking drama classes a “few “couple years back”.
“If you listen and you focus and step out of your comfort zone, you can achieve,” Cooper told the audience at the 77th Emmy Awards during his acceptance speech.
“I was nothing three years ago.”
“It says my name on the statue, but it really belongs to all of the people who worked on the show,” Cooper said.
Co-star Erin Doherty won best supporting actress in a limited series, dedicating the award to her older sister.
The British drama, which dominated Netflix’s most-watched list earlier this year, centres on the story of a 13-year-old boy arrested for the murder of a classmate.
Adolescence director Philip Barantini took home the Emmy for outstanding directing for a limited or anthology series or movie, while writers Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham won for outstanding writing in the same category.
“To Netflix, thank you for trusting us with this mad idea,” Barantini said while accepting his award.

TV series Severance was nominated 27 times, while crime drama mini-series The Penguin had 24 nominations and Adolescence received 13.
The night’s other major winners included Seth Rogen’s The Studio, which took home awards for best directing, best writing and outstanding actor in a comedy series.
Irish actor Colin Farrell received his first Emmy nomination for his role in The Penguin on HBO Max.
Before the ceremony, fellow nominee Jake Gyllenhaal surprised Cooper during an interview ahead of the 77th Emmy Awards, leaving the young Adolescence star momentarily speechless.
Asked moments earlier how he would react if they met, Cooper said: “I don’t know. I’ll just stare at him. I don’t really know.”
The pair hugged, and Gyllenhaal gave Cooper a small gift — a “lucky duck”.
“I made this movie [Brokeback Mountain], and I got nominated for an Academy Award, and a friend of mine sent me this before. Something just like this,” he said.
“It’s just a ‘Lucky Duck’ to keep in your pocket. To give you a little bit of luck.”
