Actor Corey Feldman has voiced his regret and disappointment regarding his exclusion from a recent Academy Awards tribute honoring Rob Reiner, the acclaimed director of the film ‘Stand By Me.’ Feldman, who starred in the 1986 coming-of-age classic, described the omission as feeling “like a family reunion I wasn’t invited to.”
The Oscars ceremony saw fellow ‘Stand By Me’ co-stars Wil Wheaton and Jerry O’Connell join Billy Crystal and numerous other celebrities on stage. The gathering was held to pay homage to Reiner’s significant contributions to cinema. Feldman’s absence from this special recognition for his film’s director has clearly resonated with him, prompting his public statement about the snub.
