And at age 75, Weapons' Amy Madigan became the oldest entertainer to score a Best Supporting Actress win.
On the other hand, Owen Cooper made history as the youngest performer to win Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Made for Television for his breakout performance in Adolescence.
"This past year has been a complete whirlwind for me and my family, honestly," the 16-year-old told the crowd. "It's changed our lives forever. We're forever grateful. We cherish every single moment of it."
