Scarlett Johansson was named the Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year Thursday afternoon, Feb. 15 by Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation’s oldest undergraduate drama troupe. Each year, awards are given to a male (Ben Stiller this year) and female who have made a “lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment.” As part of the ceremony, Scarlett did a comedic reenactment of her now famous Vanity Fair cover, took a mock SAT exam, and led a parade through Harvard Square with a pair of drag queens. She said:
Thank you so much for this fabulous golden pot. It’s been such a wonderful day. This is the closest I’ll ever get to a Harvard degree for sure. It’s a real honor and I can’t wait till later tonight when we party.”
