2017 Best Lead Actor In A Drama Series Emmy Awards Predictions

The Television Academy clearly loved “This Is Us” awarding it 11 nominations including Best Drama Series. One of the few categories they can actually reward it may be Lead Actor. Sterling K. Brown already won an Emmy for his work in “The People v O.J. Simpson” last year and is well known to Emmy voters. The question is whether Brown’s co-star, Milo Ventimiglia, will siphon off some of Brown’s support. If that happens your likely winner is the very deserving Bob Odenkirk of “Better Call Saul” fame.  [Updated July 21]
