Photo: (Getty) The Golden Globes are this Sunday, January 13, and many of this year's T.V. nominees not only deserve awards for their tear-jerking, nail-biting, laugh-inducing awesomeness, but for breaking major racial, sexual, and political stereotypes. Here are a few of our faves. + Modern Family From an odd couple, to a gay couple, to a couple with a serious age gap, "Modern Family" holds true to it's name by showcasing various versions of the American modern family.

Photo: (Getty) While y'all have had your panties in a bunch over Justin Bieber, I've been patiently awaiting the return of the original teen heartthrob who also happens to go by the name of Justin: Justin Timberlake. It's been six long years since his album FutureSex/LoveSounds rocked our worlds, but yesterday as we all know, he released a video hinting that the wait may finally be over! + Justin Timberlake Is Ready!

It follows nine friends as they further their personal and professional lives in…wait…where exactly is Washington Heights?!  Here are a few facts about the place that is neither home to Mr. President nor the Space Needle! 155: Washington Heights is a New York City borough (like a mini town within a town). It goes from 155th Street to Dykman Street, and spans Manhattan from the Hudson to the Harlem River. In NY speak, we call that "waaaay uptown." ...

During the press circuit for "Django Unchained," Quentin Tarantino once again discussed his feeling that his latest film and "Inglourious Basterds" "bespeak a trilogy," one that would need a conclusion. It was during an interview withe The Root that Tarantino first mentioned a possible candidate for a closing act, a "Basterds" spin-off he tentatively calls "Killer Crow." As exciting as further adventures of the Basterds sound, we couldn't help but ask the Bear Jew himself, Eli Roth, what he's heard about "Killer Crow" during an interview...

As all dedicated "Game of Thrones" fans well know, winter is coming. It looms, menacingly, much like the long wait we still have for the start of the third season! Okay, the wait for the season premiere on March 31 isn't quite as ominous as the evil winter coming to Westeros, but every time we see any mention of the new season we get more ancy for March to get here already. Case in point, there's a new teaser trailer out online today that is set to air on HBO this Sunday. The nearly one-minute teaser does NOT feature any footage from the upcoming...

Photo: (Getty) Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne haven't always gotten along, and it looks like the fur might be flying again. If you haven't heard what's been going on, we have a quick recap. Where do you stand on this bullying issue? Kelly recently said that Gaga fans are "the worst," referencing how some of Lady Gaga's fans have been openly cruel to her, even telling her she should die. In a letter to Gaga's manager, Vince, Kelly's mother Sharon Osbourne asked him to encourage Gaga to ask her fans to tone things down. She wrote: (Editor's...

There might be as many as 27 million slaves in the world today -- even in our own backyard. For the sake of the 27 million modern-day slaves, we've put together a list of ways you can help. When Shay Mitchell recently told us about her involvement fighting slavery, she kept talking about how there are ways you can get involved to make a serious difference. And it's...

FROM MTV NEWS Since the announcement that Christopher Nolan could possibly tackle "Interstellar" as his next film, we've been digging around to find out what the heck this future mind-melter will be about. Since the initial report only mentioned time travel, wormholes, alternate dimensions, and some dude named Kip Thorne, we figured we'd investigate to see what kind of potential these scientific theories could have for a Nolan movie. It turns out that there's a lot. Head over to MTV News for our full scientific breakdown of "Interstellar"...

Ever since her rise to stardom, we've come to expect fantastic candor from Jennifer Lawrence interviews. In other words, they're usually pretty great. When MTV News' Josh Horowitz caught up with the now two-time Academy Award nominee at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards, Lawrence was in high spirits coming off of the big morning for "Silver Linings Playbook" and the recently wrapped "Hunger Games: Catching Fire." According to Lawrence, her second trip to the arena proved more difficult than the first, and it feature more blows...

By Hannah Soo Park After experiencing a bit of pre-production chaos (to say the least), "Godzilla" is dusting itself off and moving on…to its next potential leading man. Now that Joseph Gordon-Levitt definitely isn't going to play the lead role in Gareth Edwards' reboot, Legendary Pictures is looking to Aaron Johnson as its choice frontrunner for the job. Before Johnson and Gordon-Levitt, the studio also considered Henry Cavill, Scoot McNairy and Caleb Landry Jones. But it seems that Johnson is treading carefully—the "Kick-Ass" and "Savages"...

By Hannah Soo Park Shoot-em-up flick "Gangster Squad," which hits theaters today, is mostly (at least visually) associated with its 1940s backdrop. And one of its stars, Ryan Gosling, is not a stranger to visiting the past—jumping from decade to decade, Gosling has played characters living in nearly every decade within the past century—except not quite so. Here are a few genre suggestions we think Mr. Gosling should tackle next in his next period film. '40s Film Noir Ryan Gosling in black and white? Ryan Gosling standing in dark shadows?...

A fan known in the Twittersphere as @DazzlingJustin is hosting an event in LA that brings together beliebers to help the Los Angeles Dream Center Shelter and Cure AT/RT. Justin may or may not be attending (this isn't a winky-face tease here; it is seriously unclear if he'll be there). Still, he knows about the event, and Tweeted to make sure his 32 million Tweeps knew, too: who else is doing them? #giveback #buyouts...

Justin Lin's "Fast Five" really changed the tune of the discussion about the car racing series. Jokes about the title quickly change to incredulous talk about how much fun the damn thing was. Come on, it has Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. For the follow-up, Lin has enlisted some serious action talent to add even more explosiveness to "The Fast and the Furious 6." MTV News caught up with Gina Carano, the newest addition to the series, at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards last night to see what is in store for the crew...
