Netflix’s Adolescence at Golden Globes: Owen Cooper becomes the youngest winner for supporting actor in TV series – Firstpost

Golden Globes 2026 makes Cooper the youngest winner in the category ever — at age 16, he beats Chris Colfer, who was 20 when he won for “Glee” in 2010. Netflix’s Adolescence was one show that sparked global conversation.

About Adolescence

Netflix’s _Adolescence_ has rightly been called the closest thing to perfect cinema-making in ages. The series is so engaging that it will make every parent ask if we are doing it right or not. Many had to say that the show talks about ’toxic masculinity,’ but I beg to differ. In fact, it is too strong a statement for a 13-year-old who doesn’t know how to deal with his raging hormones. It’s not about misogyny either.

This Netflix show addresses far deeper issues that kids currently are going through because of the terrible pressure of social media. If anything needs to be checked, it is social media, which has become a virtual demon. In this four-episode miniseries, each told through one continuous shot, the social issues, including incel culture, are handled with care and extreme sensitivity.

Cooper had won Critics Choice Award and Emmys too. Adolescence has been a darling of all awards, not just because of Cooper’s performance, but the entire cast did an absolutely brilliant job.
