Tarantino, who wrote “Django Unchained,” defeated Mark Boal (“Zero Dark Thirty”), Tony Kushner (“Lincoln”), David O. Russell (“Silver Linings Playbook”) and Chris Terrio (“Argo”) for the award. This is Tarantino’s second Golden Globe award for screenwriting; he previously won in 1996 for co-writing the script to “Pulp Fiction.” Tarantino has been nominated twice before in the Best Director category at the Golden Globes, for “Pulp Fiction” and “Inglourious Basterds.”

In addition to the Golden Globes win, Tarantino has also earned an Oscar nomination for his work on “Django Unchained.”
