In October 2012, former wrestler and reality TV star Hulk Hogan sued Gawker after it posted a video of him having sex with the wife of his best friend. He also received Oscar nominations for directing Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds. Tarantino has won screenwriting two Academy Awards for his films Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained. The leak of Tarantino's script initially was limited to a few people, his lawsuit states, and The Hateful Eight script did not appear online until after Gawker posted an item encouraging anyone who had a copy to leak it to them.
