There are very few categories that seem like a lock, but this is one of them. If John Lithgow doesn’t take this Emmy, it will be a monumental upset. He won the “lead” actor category for his role in “The Crown” at the SAG Awards and is a 12-time Emmy nominee and four-time winner. If anyone finds a way to steal his, um, crown among this crowded field, it will likely either be Ron Cephas Jones from “This Is Us” or David Harbour from “Stranger Things.” [Posted July 25]
