BEIJING, Feb. 17 -- Not quite the Oscar, but
Scarlett Johansson still was all smiles Thursday about being crowned the Harvard
Hasty Pudding woman of the year. And happy to participate in the rambunctious
roasting that goes along with the honor.
She participated in a mock SAT exam, and endured a
lampooning of her famous unclad Vanity Fair cover pose. But the blonde actress
kept mum when asked to make an analogy between director Woody Allen, in whose
films she has appeared, and fashion designer Issac Mizrahi, who groped her
breast on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last year.
She was gleeful, though, 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."
Before the roast, Johansson led a parade through
Harvard Square, sitting in the back of a silver Bentley convertible, flanked by
Harvard students in drag.
Johansson, 22, has appeared in films including "Lost
in Translation," "The Girl with a Pearl Earring," "Match Point," and "The Black
Dahlia."
Ben Stiller is to be crowned Harvard's Hasty Pudding
Man of the Year on Feb. 23.
The awards are given to performers who have made a
"lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment" by Hasty
Pudding Theatricals, the nation's oldest undergraduate drama troupe.
