The Emmys will be held in Los Angeles on Monday (Tuesday 10am AEST).
Strahovski, 36, from Sydney, is favourite to claim the supporting actress in a drama trophy for her emotionally complex character in The Handmaid's Tale, a series set in a totalitarian society where fertile women are forced to bear children.
Strahovski, ironically, is nine months pregnant and still plans to attend the ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in downtown LA.
"Ohhhh so preggy now," Strahovski wrote on Twitter.
The Emmys' drama categories are expected to be a battle between The Handmaid's Tale and Game of Thrones, including Strahovski's category.
Boomakers have the Australian as the favourite, with her The Handmaid's Tale co-star Ann Dowd on the second line of betting followed by Thandie Newtown (Westworld), Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), Alexis Bledel (The Handmaid's Tale) and Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things).
The comedy categories are expected to be a tussle between The Marvelous Mrs Maisel and Atlanta.
