What might be one of the most controversial moments from the 2016 Golden Globes comes from Quentin Tarantino.
Tarantino was accepting the award for Best Original Score on Behalf of Ennio Morricone for Hateful Eight when he said the word “ghetto” for no real reason. This immediately caused for a **** storm on Twitter, with many people angry with Quentin’s use of the word and some claiming that those who are angry had simply misunderstood.
After Quentin Tarantino’s speech, presenter Jamie Foxx got back up on the microphone to call out what quentin had just said. The tension was pretty clear especially for Jamie Foxx who starred in Quentin’s 2012 hit movie Django Unchained.
#ICYMI you can watch Jamie Fox call out Quentin Tarantino in the video clip below and check out some of the tweets about Quentin Tarantino’s speech below:

Quentin Tarantino will probably deservingly get dragged a little for that ‘ghetto’ comment… #GoldenGlobes
