snow white and the huntsman

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1735898/

...and the winner for all-time worst speech, ever (2012), goes to...kristen steward, for the all-time worst speech, ever, that she gave in SWATH.  this film also garnered a number of other awards, such as worst momentous statement (the blind dwarf,) worst use of charlize theron's talents (lucy bevan,) and most striking inability to count to seven (the writers.)  i am pretty sure that the dwarf they killed off was because they were sitting there filming when the director turned to his pet screenwriter and said,

DIRECTOR: "excuse me, you."
SCREENWRITER: "yes, director?"
DIRECTOR: "do you see anything wrong with this scene?"
SCREENWRITER: (not seeing anything, but knowing that the director would not ask if there were nothing to see--probably.) "n-n-no, director?"
DIRECTOR: "well, how many dwarfs would you say there were in 'snow white and the seven dwarfs?'"
SCREENWRITER: "s-s-seven?  director, sir?"
DIRECTOR: "s-s-seven?  or seven?"
SCREENWRITER: (gulps) "se-se-" (pauses) "seven, director."
DIRECTOR: "indeed." (turning away.) "how many dwarfs do you see in this scene?"
SCREENWRITER: (counting) "eight?"
DIRECTOR: "eight WHAT?"
SCREENWRITER: "eight, director!  sir!"
DIRECTOR: (nods, chuckling) "yes indeed.  kill one of them for me, would you?"

and this is how you get seven dwarfs and a movie called snow white and the huntsman.
