- Corey Feldman reacted to his absence from the Rob Reiner Oscars tribute with a resigned "it is what it is," noting he was "a little bothered" that no one got to speak from the heart.
- Feldman felt the tribute was "a family reunion I wasn't invited to" but emphasized the importance of honoring Reiner's work, especially as 'Stand by Me' returns to theaters for its 40th anniversary.
- The Oscars tribute featured a wide array of stars from Reiner's films, including Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton from 'Stand by Me,' alongside Billy Crystal, Meg Ryan, and many others.
- Rob and Michele Reiner's deaths in December, followed by their son Nick's arrest and not guilty plea for their alleged murder, add a layer of tragedy to the cast's inability to say goodbye in their own ways.
