The actor, 16, who has made history by becoming the youngest winner of the Best Supporting Actor award at both the Golden Globes and the Emmy Awards, took home the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor.
Meanwhile, his onscreen mum Christine Tremarco won Best Supporting Actress in a surprise result beating co-star Erin Doherty, who previously took home the Golden Globe and Emmy Award. Nominations were announced in March with Stephen Graham leading the way with a total of 11 nominations for the drama as well as seven for his Disney+ series, A Thousand Blows - for which he is an executive producer.
Adolescence, which was created by actor Stephen, 52, and writer Jack Thorne, tells the story of British teenager Jamie Miller, who is found guilty of murdering a female classmate after being sucked in by the manosphere online. Each episode is filmed in one continuous shot and has been widely praised for addressing topics such as online radicalisation and misogyny.

Owen said of his win: 'Every time we are at these events and your name gets called out your mind flashes back to your first audition, the first time on set, the first time you met the cast, it's been an unreal two years.
I'm just grateful to everyone who is here today.
' When asked how it's changed his life and what he wants to do next he said: 'I don't know what I want to do next. It's changed my life because I've met all these beautiful people, me and my family have travelled the world, so it's just amazing.
'Erin was the first person that I ever worked with so it was a dream to film. It was hard to do, I'm not doing to stand here and say it was easy, it was hard to do that in front of a stranger I have never met but Erin and the crew were so kind.
' Producer Mark Herbert of Warp films said: 'Big thanks to Stephen Graham for bringing this gang together. The script ripped our hearts and it punched us in the guts'. He also thanked Netflix boss Anne Mensah who had picked up the project after Amazon Prime Video had passed on it.
' Amandaland starring Lucy Punch won the BAFTA for scripted comedy. The show follows the demise of Motherland's snooty Queen Bee, who has moved from a lavish life in well-to-do Chiswick to becoming a single mother in the less-than-desirable South Harlesden - which she christens 'SoHa'. Writer Holly Walsh said she loved when people said they watched the show with their children.
