Johansson All Smiles As Havard's Hasty Woman of Year

SCAR.JO IS THE HASTY PUDDING WOMAN OF THE YEAR

It was not quite the Oscar, but Scarlett Johansson was in all smiles as she was crowned this year’s Harvard’s irreverent Hasty Pudding woman of the year. The 56-year-old awards are presented annually to performers who have made "a lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment," Harvard said on its Web site.

The star of Lost in Translation led a parade of students dressed in drag through the streets of Harvard Square and participated in a a mock SAT exam, and endured a lampooning of her famous unclad Vanity Fair cover pose. In accepting the award,

"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," Johansson said. "It's a real honor and I can't wait till later tonight when we party."

Previous winners have included Richard Gere, Halle Berry, Katharine Hepburn, Susan Sarandon, Julia Roberts, Anthony Hopkins, Robert DeNiro and Harrison Ford.
