It was the age of Adolescence for Emmy voters this year — the groundbreaking limited series has been recognized with 13 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. The show, which explores how a family’s world is turned upside down when their 13-year-old son is arrested for the murder of a classmate, stars and is co-created by Stephen Graham, who was nominated for three Emmys for his contributions to the four-part phenomenon. Adolescence’s 15-year-old breakout star Owen Cooper is the youngest nominee in the history of the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited/Anthology Series or TV Movie category for his first onscreen acting role. 

The equally gripping The Diplomat received two nominations for its second season. For her role as a rising political power player and ambassador Kate Wyler, Keri Russell received her fifth Emmy nod. Meanwhile, the seventh season of Charlie Brooker’s dark, satirical British anthology series Black Mirror was honored with 10 nominations, including a nomination for Rashida Jones for her role in the episode “Common People.”
