STORY: Emergency room saga "The Pitt" was toasted as the year's best TV drama, and Netflix hit "Adolescence" was crowned best limited series, as Hollywood celebrated the best of television at the annual Emmy Awards on Sunday (September 14).

"The Pitt" was the upset winner over "Severance," an eerie workplace drama that went into the red-carpet ceremony in Los Angeles with the most nominations. Star Noah Wyle earned his first Emmy for best drama actor for his leading role on the medical show.

Fifteen-year-old Owen Cooper was named best supporting actor in a limited series for "Adolescence," the hit British drama that explores the issue of teenage violence, making him the youngest winner in the category.

The English actor said he started taking drama classes a couple of years back.

"If you listen and you focus and step out of your comfort zone, you can achieve anything in life," Cooper said. "I was nothing three years ago."

Winners were chosen by the roughly 26,000 performers, directors, producers, and other members of the Television Academy.
