Adolescence star Owen Cooper continued his record-breaking run of awards success, as well as his co-stars Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty as the Netflix drama cleaned up at Sunday’s awards.

Owen, 16, left his proud dad Andy teary as he scooped the Supporting Actor gong at the 2026 Golden Globes on Sunday.

In the midst of studying for his GCSEs, the young star has been gracing red carpets to accept a string of honours for his role in the hard-hitting Netflix drama.

Adolescence was tipped as a favourite at this year’s awards, and their success began early in the ceremony, as Owen’s became the youngest actor ever to receive the honour.

The win also made Owen the second-youngest male Globe winner of all time, behind The Champ star Ricky Schroder, who at age 9, won in 1980 for new star of the year.

At September’s Emmy’s Owen won Best Supporting Actor for his breathtaking performance as Jamie Miller in the four-part Netflix show. It was filmed when he was just 14.

Graham was presented with his acting prize by Leonardo DiCaprio, with whom he shared a warm embrace as he took the stage to deliver his acceptance speech.

Graham showered praise on his wife Hannah Walters, who also worked on Adolescence as both an actress and executive producer.

‘I’ve said it before, but you saved my life. You saved my life,’ Graham said touchingly from the stage. ‘And to my two beautiful children, Grace and Alfie, I love you to the moon and back forever.’

He continued: ‘My dad, my pops, my hero, and I would just like to dedicate this particular award to my mom and all my friends and family, you all know exactly who you are. Without you, none of this is possible.’

Stephen also paid tribute to fellow nominees Jacob Elordi (The Narrow Road to the Deep North), Paul Giamatti (Black Mirror), Charlie Hunnam (Monster: The Ed Gein Story), Jude Law (Black Rabbit) and Matthew Rhys (The Beast in Me).

He also spared warm words for ‘my dad, my pops, my hero, and I would just like to dedicate this particular award to my mom and all my friends and family, you all know exactly who you are. Without you, none of this is possible.’

Supporting actress Erin Doherty also took home gold, dedicating her victory in part to therapists and earning a round of applause from the audience for doing so.

‘I didn’t wanna assume, but I feel like we all know, go to therapists,’ she said. ‘I just think life can be tough, mental health is everything, so thank you therapists, and it was an honour to play one. Thank you so much.’

A fleet of cast and behind-the-scenes figures from the show took the stage for the acceptance speech, which was given by Jack Thorne, who co-wrote the show with Stephen Graham.

‘This is extraordinary. I wrote something ’cause I’m a writer and I can’t improvise,’ said Thorne, before issuing a string of thanks to people involved with the show, including Graham, who he called ‘the Larry to my Barry. You fill a whole in my soul and I love you.’

Thorne then by told the audience that ‘some people think our show is about how you should be frightened of young people. It’s not. It’s about the filth and the debris we have laid in their path.’

He added that it was ‘impossible to highlight anyone else in our cast and crew but our young company,’ before hailing the underage actors on the series – Owen Cooper, Amari Bacchus, Amélie Pease, Amélie Pease and Kaine Davis.

‘You are proof the world can be better,’ he said.

Over the course of awards season, Owen has earned an Astra TV Award for Best Supporting Actor, alongside honours at the Gotham TV Awards, Edinburgh TV Festival and Rose d’Or Awards.

Following the numerous accolades praising Philip Barantining’s pshycological drama, rumours has the show could be making history once again.

She beat out an impressive field including: Emily Blunt – The Smashing Machine, Elle Fanning – Sentimental Value, Ariana Grande – Wicked: For Good, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas – Sentimental Value, and likely favorite Amy Madigan –  Weapons.

Taylor is a mother of two – Iman ‘Junie’ Tayla Shumpert Jr., ten , and Rue Rose Shumpert, five – as she joked that both her children are watching her shining moment at the Beverly Hilton.

During her speech she said: ‘My babies! My babies are upstairs watching. Y’all to beat off then damn phones and watching me right now!’

In One Battle After Another, Taylor portrays Perfidia Beverly Hills, a member of far-left revolutionary group French 75, who is also mother to Chase Infinity’s character Willa Ferguson.

The second award of the night was earned by Stellan Skarsgård who was recognized in the Best Supporting Category for Sentimental Value (directed by Joachim Trier).
