Senator Orrin Hatch Says Ronald Reagan Richly Deserves an Oscar
January 24, 2018
EXCLUSIVE
Utah Senator Orrin Hatch is down with Ronald Reagan receiving a posthumous Oscar, but he concedes it would be an uphill battle.
We got the Republican Senator Tuesday on Capitol Hill and he thinks Reagan's CV is Oscar-worthy — movie star, SAG President and Prez of the U.S.
There's a petition being circulated asking the Academy to honor Reagan — as the only Academy member to become Prez.
The Senator — who's retiring this year — admits it's a tough road to hoe for any conservative to get love from members of the Academy.
BTW … when Reagan first ran for Governor of California, his opponent campaigned against Reagan using his movie, "Bedtime for Bonzo" — where Reagan chummed up to a chimp — to argue he was unqualified.
