Corey Feldman is reportedly fuming — as he’s reportedly left out of a Academy Awards tribute to Rob Reiner.
As Hollywood gears up for the 98th Oscars on March 15, insiders claim a tribute is being planned for the legendary director — but one of the stars from his beloved coming-of-age classic Stand by Me isn’t on the guest list. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Feldman — who played Teddy Duchamp in the 1986 film — has been left out of the tribute lineup, while several of his former co-stars are reportedly being asked to participate.
Sources say actors Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, stars of Reiner’s rom-com classic When Harry Met Sally…, are expected to take part.
Also reportedly invited: Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton — Feldman’s fellow child actors from Stand by Me.
But Feldman? Not so much.
“One person currently left off is Corey Feldman, and Corey is devastated that he hasn’t been asked to be part of the tribute,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“He loved Rob and expected to be asked, especially since Jerry and Wil were asked.”
The snub allegedly stings even more because Feldman, O’Connell and Wheaton are set to reunite for a 40th-anniversary tour celebrating Stand by Me, kicking off March 13 in Pittsburgh.

“The night should be about Rob and honoring him,” the insider said. “Corey wants nothing more than to honor Rob, and the fact that he currently isn’t allowed is an absolute slap in the face.”
According to the report, Feldman and his former costars have reached out to the Academy looking for an explanation — but so far have been met with radio silence. Reiner and his wife were tragically murdered on December 14, when they were found in their California home with fatal stab wounds.
Their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, has been charged in connection to their deaths.
