London. At the BAFTA Television Awards held on Sunday, Netflix's popular drama 'Adolescence' became the biggest winner. Along with this, 'The Celebrity Traitors' and 'Last One Laughing' also made their mark at the awards.

At the age of 16, Cooper became the youngest person to win a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor. He has already won an Emmy, Golden Globe, National Television, and Royal Television Society Award.

He stated that it is his responsibility to inspire the younger generation to pursue acting and tell beautiful stories. Similarly, Kristin Tremarco, who played Cooper's mother, won the award for Best Supporting Actress.

She dedicated this award to Nazanin, a British-Iranian woman who spent six years in prison in Tehran, and her family. On the other hand, ITV's 'Code of Silence' won the title of Best Drama.

The award for the most memorable moment of the year, chosen by public vote, was received by Alan Carr's win in The Celebrity Traitors. In entertainment, Prime Video's hit show 'Last One Laughing' won the award for Best Entertainment Programme, surpassing major programs like 'The Graham Norton Show'.
