Adolescence star Owen Cooper could be set to make history once again at the 2026 Golden Globes, just months after becoming the youngest-ever male Emmy winner.
As his incredible award show streak continues, the schoolboy received a nod for Best Supporting Actor at the Globes when nominations were announced on Monday, and if he wins he will again be the youngest ever recipient.
Owen, who turned 16 last Friday, was named alongside co-stars Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty and Ashley Walters with the smash hit Netflix show landing a whopping five nominations in total ahead of January's star-studded LA ceremony.
If Owen wins, beating the likes of co-star Ashley and White Lotus' Jason Issac and Walton Goggings, he will replace Chris Colfer who is currently the youngest ever Best Supporting Actor in a Series for his role as Kurt in Glee which he won in 2009 aged 20.
Other young stars who have won at the Golden Globes include Tatum O'Neal who was just ten when she bagged Best Actress in a Supporting Role in 1973's Paper Moon.
Meanwhile Rocky Schroeder was nine when he took home the now defunct award for Best New Star for The Champ in 1980.
