Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kerry Washington will be visiting Harvard University this year. The two Hollywood stars have been named the 2016 Hasty Pudding Man and Woman of the Year.
The Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation’s oldest theatrical organization, named Washington their Woman of the Year on Jan. 6. The star of ABC’s Scandal will be honored on Jan. 28, when she will lead a parade in Cambridge, Massachusetts. That afternoon, she will be presented with the Pudding Pot and she’ll watch current Hasty Pudding members perform selections from That 1770s Show.
Godron-Levitt will be honored on Feb. 5 with much of the same festivities as Washington. The actor starred in The Walk and The Night Before in 2015.
The Woman of the Year award was established in 1951, while the Man of the Year award wasn’t started until 1963. Past honorees include Meryl Streep, Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, Tom Cruise, Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Amy Poehler and Claire Danes.
