The Oscars Held a Touching Tribute to Rob Reiner
Corey Feldman claims exclusion from the Oscars' Rob Reiner tribute despite other 'Stand By Me' co-stars participating in the In Memoriam segment led by Billy Crystal.
Actor Corey Feldman claimed he was not invited to the Oscars tribute for director Rob Reiner, despite starring in his 1986 Stand By Me film.
The tribute honors Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner, who were killed at their Los Angeles home on December 14; their son Nick Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder.
Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan lead the tribute during the Memoriam segment, while Feldman's Stand By Me costars Jerry O'Connell and Wil Wheaton were invited.
Feldman suggested his exclusion stems from his advocacy against childhood abuse, urging fans to stop petitioning and stating, "Will and Jerry got this I'm sure."
Host Conan O'Brien described the segment as "very powerful" during yesterday's Oscars ceremony, aiming to honor Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner following the December tragedy.
