Sylvester Stallone wasn’t the only one to face the wrath of Twitter during the Golden Globes Sunday night.

Accepting the best original score award on behalf of The Hateful Eight’s Ennio Morricone, filmmaker Quentin Tarantino caught flak for his use of the word “ghetto” when describing how Morricone is his favorite composer.
