2015 Golden Globes Winners!
The 2015 Golden Globes winners will be revealed during the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler-hosted awards ceremony, broadcast live on Sunday, January 11, 2015 at 5 p.m. PST/8 p.m. EST on NBC.

Come With Me If You Want to Learn ‘Terminator 2’ Facts!
‘Terminator 2’, James Cameron’s sequel to his cult hit from 1984, had a budget of $94 million.

A good chunk of that money went to star Arnold Schwarzenegger who was paid a then-record $15 million, plus they bought him a private jet! Want to know more?
