Just under two weeks after the 2026 Academy Awards, Corey Feldman has more to say about being left out of the big night\u2019s tribute to Rob Reiner.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Jerry [O\u2019Connell] and Wil [Wheaton] did what had to be done. It was a fleeting moment, so I don\u2019t feel like I missed much at all,\u201d Feldman told Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. \u201cI personally was probably maybe a little bothered by the fact that nobody got to speak or do or say anything from their own heart.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cAlthough they did a wonderful job, I would\u2019ve liked to have heard from Wil and Jerry and a few other people up there.\u201d<\/p>\n Feldman spoke to the outlet alongside \u201cStand By Me\u201d co-stars O\u2019Connell and Wheaton for a 40-year retrospective on Reiner\u2019s classic coming-of-age film. While Feldman did not get the invite to attend the Oscars for a moment of recognition for Reiner, O\u2019Connell and Wheaton both did.<\/p>\n \u201cPersonally, it felt a little bit like a family reunion I wasn\u2019t invited to, but we\u2019re not going to use this time to go into my feeling about that,\u201d Feldman said. \u201cInstead I just want to say that I\u2019m with the rest of us, we\u2019re all very destroyed that things went down the way they did, losing Rob when we all thought he\u2019d be joining us at some point for this tour and it\u2019s a tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n The moment at the Academy Awards came as part of an extra-long In Memoriam segment, influenced by a notable string of high-profile Hollywood losses between the 2025 and 2026 ceremonies. Frequent Oscars host Billy Crystal opened the segment by talking about his friends Rob and Michele Reiner, who died on Dec. 14 in a double homicide<\/a> from \u201cmultiple sharp force injuries,\u201d according to the L.A. Medical Examiner.<\/p>\n Their 32-year-old son Nick \u2014 who has battled mental health and addiction issues in the past \u2014 was later arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in February.<\/p>\n Feldman told EW that he appreciated how the Academy decided to \u201chonor the great memory of Rob,\u201d but that the In Memoriam segment \u201cis what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n The actor previously took to social media more than a week before the ceremony to say he hadn\u2019t been invited, believing he was blocked from participating due to speaking out about abuse he faced in Hollywood as a child.<\/p>\n \u201cYes, it\u2019s true that I was not invited,\u201d Feldman wrote at the time<\/a>. \u201cI understand many believe it\u2019s due to being outspoken about the abuse I suffered as a child and the campaign to silence me. However, this isn\u2019t about me. It\u2019s not my moment at all. It\u2019s about the tragic loss of our friend Rob Reiner and his memory.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Corey Feldman Calls Rob Reiner Oscars Tribute a \u2018Fleeting Moment\u2019 After Snub: \u2018I Don\u2019t Feel Like I Missed Much\u2019<\/a> appeared first on TheWrap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just under two weeks after the 2026 Academy Awards, Corey Feldman has more to say about being left…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369155,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2624,321,31084,93,165960,61,60,104322,10048],"class_list":["post-369154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-academy-awards","tag-celebrities","tag-corey-feldman","tag-entertainment","tag-fleeting-moment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-michele-reiner","tag-rob-reiner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
