It's a win for J.K. Simmons!
The 60-year-old actor took home the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in Whiplash at the 72nd annual ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. The film centers on a talented young drummer who enrolls at a cutthroat music conservatory where he is mentored by an intense professor.
Upon taking the stage, Simmons thanked the writer/director of the film, Damien Chazelle, as well as his co-star Miles Teller, whom he called "a young actor of such maturity and brilliance that he inspired me every day to want to scream at him and hit him in the face."
He continued, thanking a long list of friends, coworkers and family in addition to his "agent for the last 75 years."
"And thank you most of all to my wonderful wife...I love you and thank you for all the things are truly most important in my life including our adorable, above average children," he gushed before adding, "And thank you mom and dad."
Simmons beat out Robert Duvall, Ethan Hawke, Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo to win the accolade.
Congrats!
