Corey Feldman Breaks Silence on Rob Reiner Oscars Tribute Snub: ‘They Don’t Need Me There’

This year, the Academy Awards will feature a special tribute honoring filmmaker, producer, and actor Rob Reiner, celebrating his decades-long career and lasting impact on film and television. To do so, the Academy has tapped Stand by Me actors Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton to help honor the late director at the March 15 ceremony with a tribute. However, there was one notable absence from the announcement. Corey Feldman, who played Teddy Duchamp in the 1986 coming-of-age classic, was not included in the tribute lineup during the March 15 show. On Friday, March 6, Feldman took to social media with an all-caps response, addressing the speculation about why he was not invited to participate in the Academy Awards ceremony.
