Owen Cooper has officially taken home his first Emmy, winning Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series for his powerful turn in Netflix’s Adolescence. In the acclaimed miniseries, he portrayed Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old boy arrested for the murder of his classmate, Katie Leonard.

With this win, Cooper becomes the youngest male winner in any acting category at just 15 years old. The previous record holder was Scott Jacoby, who was 16 when he won for That Certain Summer in 1973.
