AND THE WINNER IS:


STEPHEN GRAHAM AS EDDIE MILLER IN "ADOLESCENCE"

This is the first win and fifth nomination for Stephen Graham. He was previously nominated as part of the ensemble of Boardwalk Empire (2012, 14-15). He was also nominated for this year for writing Adolescence (2025)He wins for his performance as the Eddie Miller on Adolescence.

Stephen Grahame personally for me has always been reminiscent of the character actors of the Golden Age of Hollywood film making where I've seen him in a lot of productions where I always know his face yet his name is one i've grown to know because of how reliable he has always been. With Adolescence Grahame a legend of the British film/tv industry has made the strongest impact of his entire career starring and co-creating a series which is so exceptional everyone involved is beyond brilliant.

Grahame in the series plays one of the devastated parents of the series central family with each chapter revealing something new about this man and giving Grahame the greatest acting opportunity of his career till this point. He was genuinely heartbreaking in the series final chapter and given how the series has exploded internationally I'm just so thankful he has reached the masses where more individuals will appreciate his true greatness.
