Brando and Ossie Davis were bigger than the applause for Reagan.
Not surprising...
Brando though was a bigger 'star' in film. He deserved the coveted last spot. And Reagan got the second 'best' spot at first.
I can't fault them for that at all. Good showing.
It's not surprising because Brando was much more important actor then Ronald Reagan was. Reagan did his best work when quit acting. :-)
