And the winners of the Hasty Pudding awards are…

Hollywood stars Catherine Zeta-Jones and Tim Robbins will be this year’s recipients of the annual Hasty Pudding awards, given by a student drama group at Harvard University.

The awards, announced on Wednesday, are given to performers who have made a ”lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment,” by Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the oldest undergraduate drama troupe in the United States.

Zeta-Jones will lead a parade through the streets of Harvard Square on February 10 with Harvard students dressed in drag. Robbins will appear on February 17 at the opening night performance of Terms of Frontierment.
