Johansson & Stiller Win Hasty Pudding Awards

Ben Stiller and Scarlett Johansson have been named this year’s recipients of the annual Hasty Pudding awards, given by a student drama group at Harvard University, according to a cbs news report.

The awards, which were announced January 29th, are given by Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation’s oldest college undergraduate drama troupe to performers deemed to have made a “lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment.”

Scarlett Johansson, 22, will lead a parade through Cambridge on February 15th, then attend a roast in her honor and receive the “Pudding Pot.”

The actress has appeared in such films as “Lost in Translation,” “The Girl with a Pearl Earring,” “Match Point,” and “The Black Dahlia.” She was also recently linked to singer Justin Timberlake, but those rumors have subsided.

Ben Stiller, 41, will be roasted on February 23rd, when he will receive his “Pudding Pot.” The roast will be before the opening night performance of the theater group’s production of “The Tent Commandments?”

Stiller currently stars in “Night at the Museum” and has appeared in “Meet the Parents,” “Meet the Fockers,” “Dodgeball” and “The Royal Tenenbaums.” He directed “Zoolander,” “Reality Bites” and “The Cable Guy” and is the son of legendary comic actors Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara.

The two are well deserving of these awards and our congratulations go out to them both.
