Corey Feldman felt he had been snubbed from a "family reunion" when he wasn't invited to the Oscars tribute to Rob Reiner.

The late director and his wife Michele Reiner Singer were shot dead in December 2025 and at the Academy Awards ceremony earlier this week, their friend Billy Crystal paid a heartfelt tribute before being joined by 17 stars from Rob's films, though Corey wasn't one of them.

Asked about the snub, the 54-year-old actor - who is currently on tour with Stand By Me co-stars Jerry O'Connell and Wil Wheaton to promote the 40th anniversary re-release of their classic movie - told Entertainment Weekly "it is what it is".

But he added: "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.

"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."

However, Corey is happy that the Academy chose to "honour the great memory of Rob", though he'd have liked to have heard the personal recollections of some of those on stage, which included Jerry and Wil, as well as Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Fred Savage, Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Carol Kane, Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, Kiefer Sutherland, Demi Moore, Kevin Pollak, Kathy Bates, Annette Bening, John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga.

He said: "I think Jerry and Wil did what had to be done. It was a fleeting moment, so I don't feel like I missed much at all. 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.

"Although they did a wonderful job, I would've liked to have heard from Wil and Jerry and a few other people up there."

But Corey is grateful promoting the Stand By Me re-release gives him a flatform to pay tribute to the late director and his work.

He said: "We all would've loved to be able to say goodbye in our own ways. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. The best way we can say goodbye is honouring him and his work and his film through these tours that we're doing and these interviews and getting people to take the moment and time to acknowledge the history of his work and art that he created, and hopefully going out there to celebrate him one last time on a big screen where it deserves to be seen."
