"I just want to briefly mention this Oscars thing! Yes, it's true that I was not invited. I understand many believe it's due to being outspoken about the abuse I suffered as a child and the campaign to silence me. However, this isn't about me. It's not my moment at all. It's about the tragic loss of our friend Rob Reiner and his memory."
"As much I appreciate all support, it's very sweet of you... but please stop. Please take down any petitions to push for my presence at the awards. They don't need me there. Will and Jerry got this I'm sure. They will do a fantastic job... I'll honor Rob my own way."
Corey Feldman announced on social media that he was not invited to participate in the Academy's planned In Memoriam tribute for late director Rob Reiner at the 2026 Oscars ceremony. The tribute will feature actors from Reiner's films, including Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan from When Harry Met Sally. Feldman, who starred in Reiner's 1986 film Stand By Me alongside Jerry O'Connell and Will Wheaton, suggested his co-stars received invitations while he did not. Feldman speculated the exclusion relates to his outspoken advocacy regarding childhood abuse he experienced and efforts to silence him. He stated the tribute should focus on honoring Reiner's memory rather than his own participation and encouraged supporters to withdraw petitions advocating for his inclusion.
