Why wasn\u2019t Corey Feldman invited to the Rob Reiner tribute?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n\n\u201cI just want to briefly mention this Oscars thing!

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<\/div>\n\n<\/p>\nCourtesy: Everett Collection<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
