Who will take home Emmys — and who should?

The winners will be named Sunday night when the 69th Emmy Awards are presented at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The show will air at 5 p.m. on CBS with Stephen Colbert as host.

In the meantime, guesses will have to suffice. Will Jeffrey Tambor make it three best comedy actor wins for his performance on “Transparent”? Will the whodunit “Big Little Lies” fall to the splashy “Feud: Bette and Joan” for best limited series?

Here’s a forecast for the seven major Emmy races with picks for who will win — and who should:

Drama series

Should win: “This Is Us.” Is this the gutsiest drama on TV? It dares to confront everyday, ordinary life — and makes it extraordinary. No wonder it touched hearts.

Will win: “The Handmaid’s Tale.” A classic novel is transformed into a hauntingly up-to-the-minute cautionary tale. No wonder it touched nerves.

Comedy series

Should win: “Master of None.” Moving beyond the masterful first batch of episodes, Season 2 was a festival of inspired short films, with emotions and ideas supplementing its wit.

Will win: “Veep.” Despite a field of bright, new and varied candidates, voters will default to this all-tooseasoned Emmy mainstay.

Actor, drama series

Should win: Matthew Rhys (“The Americans”). He’s so long overdue after five seasons of high intrigue and multiple personas in his role as a Russian spy masquerading as a 1980s American suburban dad!

Will win: “This Is Us” stars Sterling K. Brown and Milo Ventimiglia will cancel out each other in the voting. That leaves lovably shifty Bob Odenkirk the winner after three consecutive nominations as the lead on “Better Call Saul.”

Actress, drama series

Should win: Keri Russell (“The Americans”). She’s so long overdue after five seasons of high intrigue and multiple personas in her role as a Russian spy masquerading as a 1980s American suburban mom!

Will win: Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), passed over as a nominee seven times for “Mad Men” and other great work. Voters realize it’s her turn.

Actor, comedy series

Should win: Aziz Ansari. Previously known as a clever comedic presence, he went even further with this season’s “Master of None.” That extra credit should translate into an Emmy.

Will win: Donald Glover (“Atlanta”). A breakout talent with a fresh and deeply felt comic vision — who wouldn’t want to give this star an Emmy salute?

Actress, comedy series

Should win: So many overlooked funny ladies should be here: Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer of “Broad City.” Julie Klausner of “Difficult People.” Rashida Jones of “Angie Tribeca.” Sharon Horgan of “Catastrophe.” Sarah Jessica Parker of “Divorce.”

Since they aren’t, and Ellie Kemper is, why not reward her for the resilient naif she plays so irresistibly on “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”?

Will win: Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”). Why would voters stop with five in a row?

Limited series

Should win: Edging out the equally deserving “Big Little Lies” in a photo finish: “The Night Of,” a dark and disturbing feast of storytelling, acting, pathos and suspense. Not a false note or a moment of relief. A masterpiece.

Will win: “Feud: Bette and Joan.” Ryan Murphy’s anthology series is flashy, lavish and blessed with bravura performances by Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange. Hooray for Hollywood!
