AACTA Awards: Amanda Keller says she'd 'like to kick 2021 in the d**k'

The 2021 AACTA Awards took place on Wednesday at the Sydney Opera House with Australia's biggest stars walking the red carpet.

And while Australia is finally starting to open up, 2021 was quite a difficult one for many people, so we asked all the celebrities the big question: If 2021 was a person, what would you say to them?

The Living Room cast had quite a mixed response, but Amanda Keller was firm with her thoughts on the matter, telling us, "I've got a son in year 12 and I really feel for him, so I'd like to kick 2021 in the d**k!"
