p2pnet - rss feed: Christopher Walken’s Hasty Pudding award
p2pnet news | Celebrities:- In Fatboy Slim’s Weapon Of Choice you saw a singing, dancing, acrobatic Christopher Walken you’d never seen before.
Yesterday, “The 64-year-old movie star survived a brief roast by members of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals and flashed his dancing skills before the group named him their 2008 Man of the Year,” says the Cambridge Chronicle.
“I acted on this stage about 20 years ago, so I’ve known about this award for a long time,” it has him saying. “I’m just thrilled.”
He and Charlize Theron were recently named the Harvard University Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ Man and Woman of the Year, “joining Hollywood luminaries such Scarlett Johansson and Richard Gere, Katharine Hepburn and Mel Gibson - though not Paris Hilton,” says the Harvard Crimson.
Not Paris Hilton?
Not.
She won the Harvard Lampoon’s Hastiest Pudding Award.
“The Man and Woman of the Year awards are presented annually to performers who have made a ‘lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment.’ Established in 1951, the Woman of the Year award has been granted to many notable and talented entertainers, including Shirley MacLaine, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster, Drew Barrymore, and, most recently, Scarlett Johansson,” says the Harvard University Gazette, going on:
“The Man of the Year award was established in 1963. Its past recipients include Bob Hope, James Stewart, Anthony Hopkins, Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, and, in 2007, Ben Stiller.”

“Scarlett Johansson”
