Those excited to attend need not worry about having to wait another entire year for the […]

Lucky me, I recently found more in-depth footage of the event in addition to the short video I included with the original article.

Tonight at about 8pm EST, ultra popular movie star Christopher Walken graced Cambridge with his presence.
The 64-year-old Academy Award winner was in town to accept the honor of 2008 Man of the Year from Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals troupe, a group of mostly male members who have a thing for dressing up in drag. […]

Lovely 32-year-old actress Charlize Theron traveled to Harvard University in Cambridge on Thursday and showed everyone what a classy person she is. The occasion was the formal bestowal of a Pudding Pot for being named Hasty Pudding Theatrical’s most recent Woman of the Year.
