And lastly, J.K. Simmons got preachy about a topic that hits close to home for many: The winner of best supporting actor for “Whiplash” encouraged viewers to #CallYourMom.
“And if I may, call your mom. Everybody — I’m told there’s like a billion people or so. Call your mom; call your dad. If you are lucky enough to have a parent or two alive on this planet, call them. Don’t text, don’t email,” he said.
Literally my dad screamed @ me when this happened. Ty @mashable @Snapchat 4 driving it home once more. #callyourmom pic.twitter.com/h605R3jyGq
So, have you called her yet?
