Quentin Tarantino Slammed for Flubbing Ennio Morricone Speech at Golden Globes

Quentin Tarantino accepted the Golden Globe for Best Original Score on behalf of his “Hateful Eight” composer, Ennio Morricone, but his acceptance speech featured a glaring inaccuracy that had film buffs venting on social media.

Tarantino said that Morricone had “never won an award for any one individual movie” at a U.S. awards show — but that’s not exactly true.

While it’s true that, despite five nominations, Morricone has never won an Oscar for a movie (he took home an honorary Oscar in 2007), the Italian legend did previously win two Golden Globes, for “The Mission” in 1987 and “The Legend of 1900” in 2000.

The HFPA seem to be major fans of Morricone, who was also nominated for Best Original Score for “Once Upon a Time in America,” “The Untouchables,” “Casualties of War,” “Bugsy” and “Malena,” as well as Best Original Song for “Butterfly” in 1982.

“The Hateful Eight” received two additional Golden Globe nominations, for Best Screenplay (Tarantino) and Best Supporting Actress (Jennifer Jason Leigh), though only Morricone earned a trophy.

So… Quentin Tarantino… Ennio Morricone has won two other Golden Globes?

Tarantino needs to check his history: Morricone is (now) a three-time Golden Globe winner for Score. #GoldenGlobes — AwardsWatch (@awards_watch) January 11, 2016

that was SO weird for Tarantino to say Morricone had never won right after the Globes reminded us he’d won twice before

For the record, Ennio Morricone won an honorary Academy Award in 2007. He also has won two previous GGs for The Mission and Legend of 1900. — Josh Rottenberg (@joshrottenberg) January 11, 2016

Golden Globes Worst Dressed: 13 Funny and Frightful Fashion Traumas (Photos)

Katy Perry
Perry wore a blush-colored Prada gown topped off with a beehive that was too much.

Maria Menounos
While Menounos' off-white gown kissed her curves perfectly, the E! host's wild side braid looked like she'd had her hair styled at a summer camp.

Amy Schumer
Schumer's better known for her biting comedy than her fashion sense. The "Trainwreck" star's gown was too tent-like.

Kate Hudson
When most stars covered up on a chilly L.A. night, Hudson bared too much in a cropped, midriff-baring top and matching pencil skirt.

Melissa McCarthy
The "Spy" star is the founder of her own size-inclusive clothing line called Melissa McCarthy Seven7. But her shimmering number was more blinding than beautiful.

Jane Fonda
The 78-year-old actress looks phenomenal for her age, but the ruffled cape on her Yves Saint Laurent Couture looked like icing.

Jennifer Lopez
J-Lo is known for her fierce fashion, but her dark lipstick clashed with an over-abundance of canary yellow in her Giambattista Valli gown.

Natalie Dormer
"Game of Thrones" star Dormer channeled gothic chic in a J. Mendel dress, which made her look more like she was serving drinks at Medieval Times than attending a Hollywood awards show.

Leslie Mann
"The Other Woman" and "This Is 40" actress has a youthful sense of humor, but her high-necked, billowing pink gown would have been better suited on a little girl.

Giuliana Rancic
While the "Fashion Police" host is usually critiquing other people's outfits, her orange gown with cutouts and floor-length sleeves created a confusing silhouette.

Emilia Clarke
The mother of dragons was transformed into a dark witch thanks to a vampy black gown and severely pulled-back hair.

Regina King
The "American Crime" actress' glittering gown by Krikor Jabotian resembled a shimmering gold fish wrapped up in a flowing cape.

Channing Tatum
Proving that men can have hair traumas too, Tatum' greasy looking hair diminished his movie-star looks. Fortunately, stunning wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum was the best accessory he could wish for.
