Adolescence: Golden Globes awards for Sheffield film company Warp's hit Netflix drama

Adolescence stars Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty were among the winners as they all secured gongs at the Golden Globes.

Graham was named best actor in a TV mini series while Cooper was named best supporting actor and Doherty was named best supporting actress.

The Netflix show, about a teenage boy arrested for the murder of a classmate, also won the prize for limited series, anthology series or television motion picture.

Speaking on stage, co-creator Jack Thorne said: "Some think our show is about how we should be frightened of young people. It's not.

"It's about the filth and the debris we have laid in their path."

After thanking the young cast, he said: "You are proof the world can be better."

He added: "Removing hate is our generation's responsibility.

"It requires thought from the top down. The possibility seems remote now, but hope is a beautiful thing."

The show won the same four prizes at the Critics' Choice awards last week and has also won a string of Emmys.

Graham appeared to read notes off the palm of his hand as he collected his acting gong, saying: "I'd just like to say a massive congratulations to all the nominees in the category.

He also thanked his producer wife Hannah Walters , adding: "I've said it before, but you've saved my life. You saved my life. And to my two beautiful children, Grace and Alfie, I love you to the moon and back forever.

"My dad, my pops, my hero, and I would just like to dedicate this particular award to my mum and all my friends and family, you all know exactly who you are, and without you, none of this is possible."

He was momentarily distracted when he spotted rapper and actress Queen Latifah in the audience and said " Queen Latifah , wow," and bowed, before continuing: "God bless and in the words of Bob Marley, One Love ."

Cooper gave a nod to his beloved football team Liverpool as he collected the gong.

He said: "Standing here at the Golden Globes does not feel real whatsoever. What an incredible journey me and my family have been put through."

He added: "What started off as what I thought I might be OK at, I might be awful at, I took a risk and I went to drama classes, I was the only boy there, it was embarrassing but I got through it.

"But I'm still very much an apprentice, I'm still learning every day, I'm still every day learning from the people sat in front of me who have inspired me. I wouldn't be here without you guys.

He wrapped up the speech by saying: "Bring on 2026. You'll never walk alone."

The closing line is a reference to the anthem of Liverpool Football Club .
