Stand By Me co-stars Wil Wheaton and Jerry O’Connell joined Billy Crystal and a dozen other stars on stage at the Academy Awards to pay tribute to the film’s director
Stand By Me star Corey Feldman has said he was sorry to be omitted from the tribute to Rob Reiner at the Oscars earlier this month.
At the start of the Academy Awards’ in memoriam section, Billy Crystal took to the stage to pay extended tribute to the writer and director and his wife, photographer Michele, who were killed in December.
Crystal was the joined by more than a dozen stars from Reiner’s films such as The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, This Is Spınal Tap and Misery, including Demi Moore, Kevin Pollak, Meg Ryan, John Cusack, Michael McKean, Annette Bening, Kathy Bates, Mandy Patinkin, Cary Elwes, Daphne Zuniga, Christopher Guest, Carol Kane and Kiefer Sutherland.
Feldman was speaking to Entertainment Weekly about the forthcoming 40th anniversary rerelease of Stand By Me, in which he starred alongside River Phoenix, Jerry O’Connell and Wil Wheaton – of whom the latter two were on stage at the Oscars.
