Owen Cooper is "forever grateful" after winning another Best Supporting Actor accolade for Adolescence

In his acceptance speech, Owen - who saw off competition from his co-star Ashley Walters, as well as Wagner Moura, Nick Offerman, Michael Peña, and Ramy Youssef - admitted the last 12 months had changed his and his family's lives "forever", but the star insisted he "cherishes every single moment".

Speaking at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, Owen - who made history at last year's Primetime Emmy Awards as the youngest-ever male actor to win such a prize - said: "Thank you to the critics and to everyone behind the scenes who made this night possible.

"This past year has been a complete whirlwind for me and my family, honestly. It's changed our lives forever. We're forever grateful. We cherish every single moment of it."

As well as Owen's individual success, Adolescence - which centres on 13-year-old Jamie as he is arrested on suspicion of the murder of a girl in his school - won the Best Limited Series accolade at this year's Critics Choice Awards.

Owen's co-stars Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty also triumphed on the night, winning Best Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television and Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television respectively.

Stephen - who beat off competition from Michael Chernus, Brian Tyree Henry, Charlie Hunnam, Matthew Rhys, and Michael Shannon to land his prize - said: "I'd like to thank all the cast and crew, because without any one of them, none of this is possible.

"We're all exactly the same. When I was a kid, my mum told me, 'You're never above anyone and you're never below anyone.'

"So we're all equal. And I think the ethos that we carried into this piece, that paid off in this production.'

"It was a unique experience. And I'd just like to say, if you've got any kids at home, give them a massive cuddle and tell them you love them."

Erin saw off her Adolescence co-star Christine Tremarco to win the Best Actress accolade.

Sirens star Julianne Moore, Death by Lightning's Betty Gilpin, Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy actress Marin Ireland, and All Her Fault's Sophia Lillis were also nominated in the category.
