I'm just posting the snippet on Alex. The rest of the article discusses predictions for the other actors in his category.

Alexander Skarsgard (‘Big Little Lies’) takes the lead in the Emmy race, according to Experts

Before Emmy nominations were announced on July 13, our Experts were confident Alexander Skarsgard would be nominated for Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actor for his role as sadistic domestic abuser Perry Wright in “Big Little Lies,” but not that he would win. Now that the nominations have been announced, however, he has soared to the top of their predictions, though he’s far from a sure thing.
As of this writing we’ve polled 14 TV journalists from top media outlets, and eight of them are forecasting a victory for Skarsgard: Debra Birnbaum (Variety), Matthew Jacobs (Huffington Post), Kerr Lordygan (Rotten Tomatoes), Paul Sheehan (Gold Derby), Anne Thompson (IndieWire), Ken Tucker (Yahoo), Adnan Virk (ESPN), and Jarett Wieselman (Buzzfeed).
This is Skarsgard‘s first Emmy nomination, though he’s been on the TV academy’s radar before thanks to his prominent roles in Emmy winning programs “Generation Kill” and “True Blood.” And “Big Little Lies” was loved by the TV academy at large with a total of 16 Emmy nominations including Best Limited Series, so that support for the series could translate to a win for him here, even though he plays one of the least likable characters in this category. But that didn’t stop James Cromwell from winning this award as a sadistic doctor in “American Horror Story: Asylum” (2013) or Brian Cox as a bona fide Nazi in “Nuremberg” (2001). Sometimes well-liked actors actually get bonus points from awards voters for embodying especially insidious roles — see also: Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad”) and James Gandolfini (“The Sopranos”).
