Zendaya and Lee Jung-jae have made history at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Euphoria star Zendaya is the youngest person to win twice in the Emmys' leading acting categories, as she takes home her second Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series award for the show.

Squid Game star Lee, meanwhile, became the first South Korean actor to win Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

In 2020, Zendaya won her first Emmy for season one of Euphoria. Aged 24 at the time, she was the youngest recipient of the award. Two years on, she picked up the award for a second time.

The actress thanked her Euphoria co-stars for "making such a safe space to make this very difficult show". She also thanked the show's writer, Sam Levinson, "for sharing Rue" — referring to her character — with her, saying: "Thank you for believing in me even in moments where I didn’t believe in myself."

She ended her speech, saying: "I just want to say you know, my greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shared their story with me. I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know I’m so grateful for your stories and I carry them with me, and I carry them with her."
