Sure, Ronald Reagan gave lots of frothy performances in many B movies, but he also earned critical acclaim for roles in "Dark Victory" (1939), "Knute Rockne, All American" (1940), "Desperate Journey" (1942), "Storm Warning" (1951) and "King's Row." Clearly, he was widely respected by his peers -- they elected him president of the Screen Actors Guild -- but was he ever nominated for an Oscar?
