Owen Cooper favoured over Adolescence co-star for Best Drama Performance at NTAs
Adolescence co-stars Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham are favourites as they go up against one another to be awarded the Best Drama Performance at the 30th National Television Awards.
Cooper has been given the nod at even-money as the market leader, with co-star Graham 7/4, for their performances in Netflix’s Adolescence which is 4/6 to pick up the Best New Drama Award.
Brenda Blethyn rounds off the top three in the betting at 5/2 for her role in Vera, with both Tom Hardy (9/2) and Rose Ayling-Ellis (8/1) trailing in the market.
Ant and Dec are vying for their 24th NTA nod for Best Presenters and are firm favourites at 1/5 ahead of Claudia Winkleman (3/1) and Alison Hammond (6/1).

The National Television Awards are Britain’s leading television awards and are often dubbed ‘Television’s biggest night of the year’. It can be one of the most-watched television broadcasts and takes its popularity from the scale of its presentation, the calibre and quantity of stars it attracts and the fact that the winners of the awards are decided entirely by public voters.
2025 will be the 30th edition of the awards and will be held for the fourth time at the 12,500-seat OVO Wembley Arena in London on September 10th.
