Just under two weeks after the 2026 Academy Awards, Corey Feldman has more to say about being left out of the big night’s tribute to Rob Reiner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think Jerry [O’Connell] and Wil [Wheaton] did what had to be done. It was a fleeting moment, so I don’t feel like I missed much at all,” Feldman told Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. “I personally was probably maybe a little bothered by the fact that nobody got to speak or do or say anything from their own heart.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: “Although they did a wonderful job, I would’ve liked to have heard from Wil and Jerry and a few other people up there.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Feldman spoke to the outlet alongside “Stand By Me” co-stars O’Connell and Wheaton for a 40-year retrospective on Reiner’s classic coming-of-age film. While Feldman did not get the invite to attend the Oscars for a moment of recognition for Reiner, O’Connell and Wheaton both did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Personally, it felt a little bit like a family reunion I wasn’t invited to, but we’re not going to use this time to go into my feeling about that,” Feldman said. “Instead I just want to say that I’m with the rest of us, we’re all very destroyed that things went down the way they did, losing Rob when we all thought he’d be joining us at some point for this tour and it’s a tragedy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
