Schoolboy Actor Rivals Wagner Moura in Emmy Race

Fifteen-year-old Owen Cooper's Gotham Award win has created a surprising rivalry with Brazilian actor Wagner Moura in the upcoming Emmy Awards. Cooper, the star of the Netflix miniseries 'Adolescence,' missed school to attend the award ceremony in New York City. His school, according to the Daily Mail, approved his absence. This unexpected success has made Cooper a frontrunner in the Emmy race, competing alongside Moura. Gold Derby, a website that tracks awards predictions, lists both actors as favorites. The Emmy nominations will be announced in July, with the ceremony scheduled for September. This young actor's journey highlights the dedication and talent emerging in the entertainment industry.
