THE Snowtown cast have a message for Richard Wilkins: "You're a wanker."
The movie that copped a withering "zero out of five stars" by Wilkins during a tirade on The Today Show last year walked away one of the big winners at the AACTA awards on Tuesday.
And it was a milestone not lost on Snowtown actress Louise Harris, who picked up the Best Supporting Actress gong in the harrowing re-telling of the "bodies-in-the-barrels" crimes in South Australia.
Fresh from collecting her statuette, Harris -- scouted by Snowtown director Justin Kurzel in her local IGA -- revealed what she would say if she crossed Wilkins' path on Tuesday night.
"I'd say; 'you're a wanker mate'," Harris laughed.
"And I'd say 'sucked in'. We got the last laugh didn't we?"

Kurzel was a little more diplomatic about Wilkins' now-infamous review, saying Nine's entertainment guru was "entitled to his opinion".
But a spy in the camp admitted the cast were more than a little chuffed that Wilkins was in the audience at the Sydney Opera House to see Snowtown collect a swag of awards including Best Director, Best Actor (for Daniel Henshall) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Shaun Grant).
Wilkins, however, told Confidential at the AACTA's after-party that he was sticking with his original review. "Horses for courses," he shrugged.
