DETROIT, MI -- After Detroit native J.K. Simmons won an Oscar on Sunday for Best Supporting Actor, he received a sweet reward from M&M's.

Simmons received a mosaic portrait made of M&M's peanut and M&M's milk chocolate candies. You can check out photos of the mosaic above and to the right of this post.

He's been the voice of the Yellow M&M's candy in commercials for nearly 20 years, according to a company press release.

Simmons earned the Best Supporting Actor award for his role as a music teacher with an intense attitude and mean streak in the film "Whiplash."

This 60-year-old, according to The Detroit News, grew up on the east side in the 8 Mile and Mack area and didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps career-wise.

His father, according to the News, was a general music teacher at Parcells Junior High in Grosse Pointe.

"But once I got off to college I realized I really liked music -- singing in choirs, writing music, conducting -- so I ended up getting my degree in music performance. Thought I might be Leonard Bernstein when I grew up," Simmons told the News. "Took a couple of left turns and here we are."

Simmons told MTV News in January that he will star with Michael Keaton in a new King Kong movie that will be set and filmed in Detroit.

"It's where I grew up," Simmons said. "and we're going to shoot in Detroit during baseball season, so I'll get to go to Tigers games. There's a lot to like about (making) this movie."

MTV News' Josh Wigler reports that "Kong: Skull Island" is slated for a March 2017 release.

The Michigan Film Office, however, has yet to release any details about the project.
