Netflix British drama "Adolescence" swept the mini-series institutional sector at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, becoming the biggest topic.
At the ceremony held on the 14th (local time) at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, U.S., "Adolescence" won six trophies in total: outstanding limited or anthology series as well as directing, writing, lead actor, supporting actor and supporting actress. Including the Creative Arts institutional sector, it took eight trophies and effectively dominated the institutional sector.
In particular, British actor Owen Cooper, who won the supporting actor award, at age 15 became the youngest male acting winner in Emmy history. Cooper said it felt like a dream, noting, "Three years ago I was nothing, and when I started drama classes I never imagined I would come to the United States."
The drama series award went to HBO Max's medical drama "The Pit." Lead actor Noah Wyle, after his first challenge, seized the lead actor award and avenged five defeats from his ER days. "The Pit" recorded five wins in total, including supporting actress and technical institutional sector awards.
The comedy series award went to Apple TV+'s "The Studio." The show won 13 trophies including technical institutional sector awards, surpassing last year's record by "The Bear." Lead actor Seth Rogen swept lead actor, directing and writing, achieving four wins.
Meanwhile, "Severance: Disconnection" season 2, produced by Fifth Season, the U.S. subsidiary of CJ ENM, failed to win the top prize but took eight trophies including lead actress (Britt Lower) and supporting actor (Trammel Tillman). Tillman left a mark by becoming the first Black actor to win supporting actor in a drama series.
