WHIPLASH may not have been on the masses' radar before, but thanks to a Best Picture nod and a nomination for J.K. Simmons in the Best Supporting Actor category, more and more people are seeking it out. Good! People have been enjoying the work of Simmons for years now, whether it be his take in the gritty HBO series Oz or his pitch-perfect portrayal of J. Jonah Jameson in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man flicks. The man's got acting charisma and then some! That's probably the main reason to tune into Saturday Night Live this weekend and if you want a little taste of what he's going to bring to the table, check out some of the promos that have been airing!
