We may all remember J.K. Simmons as the actor who does the Farmers Insurance commercials. In 2014 at the 87th Academy Awards he won an oscar for the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in the film Whiplash. He was the first M&M to win an oscar. He has been doing the voice for the yellow M&M character since 1996. As a celebration of his award, the company gave him a mosaic of himself made by ---yes---M&M's.
