2013 was a good year for pop culture. With Miley Cyrus twerking, the return of Ron Burgundy, and Kimye, so much happened that it's hard to imagine a year that will come close.
But 2014 looks to be just as exciting, if not more so. Here are 14 pop culture moments that already promise to be big moments in our new year.
The Sochi Winter Olympics
The opening ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics will take place in Sochi, Russia on Feb. 7. Expect a number of things to take center stage: Russia's staunch anti-gay policies, Olympic-themed memes, and more Kate McKinnon as Billie Jean King on SNL.
Okay, that's really the only reason to be excited for the Winter Olympics.
The 2014 Oscars hosted by ...
Ellen DeGeneres! Having hosted in 2007, this will not be Ellen's first time before the Academy, which looked to find a host as uncontroversial as possible.
They found a pretty uncontroversial one, but she should still be pretty hilarious.
Game of Thrones' comes back!
After last season's shocking penultimate episode, many fans are wondering what the show will do after having lost such fan favorites. The answer, for those who have read the books, is simple: kill more characters!
More Sequels!
The year 2014 will be full of sequels. X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier are among the comic book continuations. The Hobbit: There and Back Again will round off Peter Jackson's trilogy, while The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 will begin the end of that series. In the realm of bringing back beloved comedies, Harry and Lloyd will hop back on the road in Dumb and Dumber To.
Bruno Mars at the Super Bowl XLVIII halftime show.
Who even knew Roman numerals went that high.
Super Bowl XLVIII (48) will be held on February 2 with Bruno Mars as the halftime show's headline performer. He's a pretty exciting choice (not a classic rock retread) for the production, but after Beyonce's performance, we can all agree it will not compare, and that he should just give up.

What are you excited for? I am looking forward to seeing Olympics, Oscars, most of the listed movies and what HBO has to offer.
