Theron, Walkins to be honored with Hasty Pudding awards


CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Oscar winners Charlize Theron and Christopher Walken will soon add another trophy to their collection -- Hasty Pudding awards.

The awards, announced Thursday, are given each year to performers who have made a "lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment," by Hasty Pudding Theatricals at Harvard University, the nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe.

Theron will be honored Feb. 7 with the traditional Woman of the Year parade and roast in productions that rival broadway shows, and Walken will be similarly celebrated as Man of the Year during a tribute on Feb. 15.

Theron, 32, won an Academy Award in 2004 for her performance as a serial killer in "Monster." She was nominated two years later for "North Country" and has appeared most recently in "In the Valley of Elah."

Walken, 64, won a Best Supporting Oscar in 1974 for "The Deer Hunter." His other work includes "Pulp Fiction," "Catch Me if You Can" and last year's musical "Hairspray."
