Overview

• Cooper became the youngest nominee ever in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie category for Netflix’s “Adolescence.”
• He will face veteran contenders including Javier Bardem, Peter Sarsgaard, Bill Camp, Ashley Walters and Rob Delaney when votes are cast.
• The series’ continuous-shot format forced Cooper to memorize and rehearse late into the night, with some evenings stretching past 1 a.m.
• He told The Hollywood Reporter that rehearsing the episode-three confrontation with psychologist Briony Ariston was “extremely difficult” before he found his rhythm.
• “Adolescence” leads the 77th Emmy race with 13 nominations, and Cooper says he’s “still processing” his breakthrough as he gears up for awards season.
