Corey Feldman has expressed his disappointment after not being included in a tribute to director Rob Reiner during the 98th Annual Academy Awards ceremony earlier this month. The actor, known for his roles in Reiner's films *The Goonies* and *Stand by Me*, publicly addressed his exclusion on social media.

Feldman, who has maintained a close relationship with Reiner throughout his career, stated he was “heartbroken” and “saddened” by the omission. He acknowledged the tribute itself was moving, celebrating Reiner’s significant contributions to cinema, but felt personally affected by his absence from it.

The segment, which aired during the awards show, highlighted Reiner's directing work, featuring clips and appearances from actors who have starred in his films, including many iconic projects. Feldman’s significant roles in two of Reiner’s most beloved films made his exclusion all the more noticeable to fans and the actor himself.

While Feldman has not explicitly stated the reason for his exclusion, his social media posts suggest a sense of hurt and confusion. He has consistently spoken positively about Reiner and their enduring friendship over the years. The Academy Awards ceremony, held on March 27th, 2022, was a major event in the entertainment industry, celebrating the best in film from the previous year.

Reiner has yet to publicly comment on Feldman’s remarks. The exclusion has sparked discussion amongst fans online, with many expressing support for Feldman and questioning the decision-making process behind the tribute's selection of participants.
