Owen Cooper Makes Emmy History as Youngest Nominee in 2023

Owen Cooper's remarkable achievement at the Emmy Awards highlights a new generation of talent, setting the stage for a dynamic ceremony.

In a groundbreaking moment for the television industry, 15-year-old British actor Owen Cooper has secured his place in history as one of the youngest nominees for an Emmy Award. Cooper is in contention for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited/Anthology Series or TV Movie for his role in the Netflix hit series "Adolescence." Should he clinch the award, he will not only make history but also become the youngest male winner of an acting Emmy.

In a twist of fate, Cooper will face competition from his "Adolescence" co-star Ashley Walters, both vying for the prestigious accolade. Meanwhile, the female players also shine brightly, with Christine Tremarco and Erin Doherty from the same series contending for Best Supporting Actress. This year's nominations reveal a competitive landscape, with standout shows like "Severance," "The Penguin," and "The White Lotus" leading the pack in the race for accolades.

"Severance" stands out as the most nominated series, racking up an impressive 27 nominations. Other high-profile contenders include "The Penguin" and "The White Lotus," both tied with 23 nominations each. Among the nominees, RuPaul achieved a historic milestone as the most nominated reality host for "RuPaul's Drag Race," while Harrison Ford secured his first-ever Emmy nomination at the notable age of 83 for his role in "Shrinking." The Emmys are set to take place in Los Angeles on September 14, bringing together industry talent to celebrate television’s finest.

The full list of nominees was announced recently, revealing fierce competition across various categories like Outstanding Drama and Comedy Series. In a year brimming with deservingly recognized talent, this year’s awards promise to be an exciting showcase of creativity and artistry in television.
