Owen Cooper, the star of TV drama Adolescence, has made history becoming the youngest to win an outstanding supporting actor Emmy.
Cooper, who is 15, played Jamie Miller in the highly-acclaimed Netflix series set in Liverpool.
Adolescence, which dominated Netflix's most-watched list earlier this year, centres on the story of a 13-year-old boy arrested for the murder of a classmate.
It won a total of four Emmys in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Cooper was just 14 at the time of filming Adolescence and had never acted before.
In his acceptance speech he said he was "nothing three years ago".
"It's just so surreal. Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn't expect to be even in the United States, never mind here.
"So I think tonight proves that if you listen and you focus and you step out your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life."
The four-part mini-series provoked a strong response from viewers and prompted a conversation in the UK - and worldwide - around misogyny and online safety, with co-creator Jack Thorne joining Prime Minister Keir Starmer for a discussion on the matter at the end of March.
It was also widely praised for its filming techniques, with each episode captured in one continuous take.
Cooper's co-star Erin Doherty (who played Jamie's therapist) won best supporting actress in a limited series, director Philip Barantini took home the Emmy for outstanding directing for a limited or anthology series or movie, while writers Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham won for outstanding writing in the same category.
Gyllenhaal's gift
Before the awards ceremony, Cooper, from Warrington, had been surprised by his acting hero Jake Gyllenhaal, who walked in unannounced during an interview he was giving to press.
The pair hugged, and Gyllenhaal gave Cooper a small gift - a "lucky duck".
"I made this movie [Brokeback Mountain], and I got nominated for an Academy Award, and a friend of mine sent me this before. Something just like this," he said.
"It's just a 'Lucky Duck' to keep in your pocket. To give you a little bit of luck."
