在9月14日于洛杉矶举行的艾美奖颁奖典礼上，来自英国西北部的少年欧文·库珀（Owen Cooper）创造历史，成为史上最年轻的艾美奖男演员获奖者。
At the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, a teenager from North West England made history as the youngest male Emmy winner ever. Owen Cooper, 15, swept to stardom in his first-ever onscreen role in Netflix's Adolescence.
年仅15岁的库珀凭借在奈飞（Netflix）剧集《混沌少年时》（Adolescence）中的首秀一举成名。
库珀演技折服观众
库珀在剧中饰演13岁的中学生杰米·米勒（Jamie Miller），因涉嫌刺死同班女生而陷入震惊全社区的案件。他细腻而震撼的表演令观众折服，甚至英国首相基尔·斯塔默也表示支持将该剧引入学校课堂。
Cooper captivated audiences with his haunting depiction of a young teenager who stabbed his classmate to death, with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer even supporting a move for the series to be shown in schools.
海外网友纷纷刷屏祝贺库珀。
恭喜你，欧文，你当之无愧。我很喜欢《混沌少年时》。
他的表演太棒了，我一度以为是真实发生的……第三集我看了两遍。
《混沌少年时》由斯蒂芬·格拉汉姆（Stephen Graham）与编剧杰克·索恩（Jack Thorne）联合创作。对于库珀在剧中的表演，格拉汉姆赞不绝口。
全剧共四集，背景设定在英格兰北部一座未具名的小镇。剧情不仅聚焦青少年犯罪，还探讨了厌女文化、社交媒体以及其对青少年的深远影响。
Cooper played the central character, 13-year-old schoolboy Jamie Miller, in the four-part Drama series set in an unspecified northern English town.
Jamie is accused of murdering a girl from his class in a horrific crime that rocks the community. The series also follows his family as well as his classmates and the police as they grapple with timely issues including misogyny, social media and the role it plays on school children across the UK.
剧集上线后迅速引爆收视，首周便登上英国与美国最受欢迎的流媒体作品榜单。除库珀外，饰演儿童心理学家的女演员艾琳·多尔蒂（Erin Doherty）同样凭借该剧赢得艾美奖。
格拉汉姆在剧中饰演主角的父亲埃迪，他坦言创作灵感来自两起男孩刺死女孩的真实案件报道：“这件事让我心碎，我在想，社会怎么会发展到这种事情频频发生的地步？”
Stephen Graham co-created Adolescence with writer and producer Jack Thorne and plays Jamie's father Eddie in the series. He has said the storyline was inspired by seeing two separate reports of boys stabbing girls to death. "It really hurt my heart, I just thought, 'what's going on in society where this kind of thing is becoming a regular occurrence?'" he told BBC Breakfast.
天才少年演员的成长之路
库珀来自英格兰沃灵顿，从小就每周远赴离家约32公里的曼彻斯特参加Drama Mob表演班。他在14岁时参与《混沌少年时》的拍摄。
剧组选角导演Shaheen Baig回忆库珀的试镜时说：“他在镜头前非常自然，临场发挥也很聪明。”
Cooper is from Warrington, but for years had been attending weekly acting classes at the Drama Mob school in Manchester — around 20 miles (32km) away. He was only 14 when Adolescence was filmed.
Casting director for Adolescence Shaheen Baig said of Cooper's audition tape: "He looks great on camera, but also his improv was really smart. It felt very natural."
在领奖台上，库珀难掩激动之情，直言现场体验“超现实”。他说：“今晚证明了，只要敢倾听、敢专注、敢走出舒适圈，就能实现任何可能。”
In his acceptance speech on Sunday, Cooper said the experience of being on stage at the Emmy Awards was "surreal".
He said: "When I started these drama classes a couple of years back, I didn't expect to even be in the United States, never mind here.
"I think tonight proves if you listen, and you focus and you step out your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life.
"Who cares if you get embarrassed? Anything can be possible. I was nothing about three years ago, I'm here now."
他还感谢了家人、合作演员和幕后团队，强调：“奖杯上写着我的名字，但它真正属于的是镜头背后的所有人。”
He also thanked his family, co-stars, and the show's production team, adding: "It may have my name on this award, but it really belongs to the people behind the camera."
