Owen Cooper continued his award winning streak at the British Academy Television Awards at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday.
The actor, 16, who has made history by becoming the youngest winner of the Best Supporting Actor award at both the Golden Globes and the Emmy Awards, took home the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor.
Meanwhile, his onscreen mum Christine Tremarco won Best Supporting Actress in a surprise result beating co-star Erin Doherty, who previously took home the Golden Globe and Emmy Award.
Nominations were announced in March with Stephen Graham leading the way with a total of 11 nominations for his drama, Adolescence and seven for his Disney+ series, A Thousand Blows – for which he is an executive producer.
Adolescence, which was created by actor Stephen, 52, and writer Jack Thorne, tells the story of British teenager Jamie Miller, who is found guilty of murdering a female classmate after being sucked in by the manosphere online.
Each episode is filmed in one continuous shot and has been widely praised for addressing topics such as online radicalisation and misogyny.
It also won in the Limited Drama category, beating the shows; Fought The Law (ITV), Trespasses (Channel 4) and What It Feels Like For A Girl (BBC Three).

Producer Mark Herbert of Warp films said: ‘Big thanks to Stephen Graham for bringing this gang together. The script ripped our hearts and it punched us in the guts’. He also thanked Netflix boss Anne Mensah who had picked up the project after Amazon Prime Video had passed on it.
Amandaland starring Lucy Punch won the BAFTA for scripted comedy.
Writer Holly Walsh said she loved when people said they watched the show with their children.
She said: ‘We can all enjoy watching a posh woman from Chiswick getting hit in the face with a football.’
Claudia Winkleman accepted the Reality Award for The Celebrity Traitors.
The host, 54, revealed she had flown down from Scotland on Saturday morning from filming the second series to collect the gong.
The Traitors host left less than half an hour after receiving the BAFTA to get back on the plane and return to Ardross Castle.
On the win, she said: ‘My favourite things when I’m told I’m taking part in the show. I couldn’t believe it in the second series that I was taking part. I love every single aspect because everybody who works on the team is obsessed by it, obsessed by the game.
‘So I love watching how the traitors behave and how the faithful behave, and I want both of both sides to win equally. So it’s confusing.

‘Social media is so important to the show, people who watch together as families is my favourite thing of all and it feels like a real communal moment.
‘We came down from Scotland this morning and I am leaving again in eight minutes.’
The Entertainment BAFTA was awarded to Last One Laughing. The show follows ten comedians competing to make each other laugh without laughing themselves.
Host Roisin Connarty said: ‘Thank you it’s such an amazing honour. This is such a beast of a show, it’s like a war room.’
Judi Love added: ‘This was a show that you can sit down and enjoy with all generations of your family and that’s what TV in the UK is about.’’
The Specialist Factual BAFTA was won by Simon Schama’s The Road to Auschwitz. ‘I think the BBC is the only broadcasting institution that would dare to make this kind of film,’ said the historian.
‘It’s all the more important for us as storytellers to convey as vividly and seriously without preaching the importance of not going near the possibility of that happening again. We took on the task of trying to do that description.’
Simon Schama: The Road to Auschwitz is a personal and harrowing BBC Two documentary which aired April 2025 and examines the Holocaust, focusing on European complicity, the “empire of plunder,” and the rapid escalation of violence from 1941.
Schama visits sites of atrocities to highlight how ordinary people participated in the genocide.
The BAFTA for factual series went to See No Evil, about the career of prolific abuser John Smyth and the 35 year cover up which led to the fall of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The BAFTA single documentary went to Grenfell: Uncovered.
