After a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals announces JASON BATEMAN as the recipient of its 2022 Man of the Year Award. The Pudding is proud to present this honor to an Emmy, SAG, and Golden Globe award-winning actor. From being the DGA’s youngest ever director for directing three episodes of “Valerie” at age 18, to starring in numerous television shows and movies, to starting his own production company, Mr. Bateman has made a significant and meaningful impact in the worlds of television and film.
The Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ Man and Woman of the Year Awards are presented annually to performers who have made lasting and impressive contributions to the world of entertainment. The Man of the Year award was established in 1967 with past recipients including Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Samuel L. Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Robert Downey Jr., Paul Rudd, and Ryan Reynolds.
The Man of the Year festivities will take place on Thursday, February 3rd, 2022. The Hasty Pudding Theatricals will host a celebratory roast for Mr. Bateman at 6:00pm and present him with his Pudding Pot at Farkas Hall, which has been the Pudding’s historic home in the heart of Harvard Square since 1888. A press conference will follow the roast at 6:20pm. Afterwards, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals will perform a preview of HPT 173: Ship Happens, the Pudding’s third-ever production featuring both men and women in the cast and HPT’s first show in two years after cancelling the show for the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are stoked to present Jason Bateman with the 55th annual Hasty Pudding Man of the Year award. It’s been a hot minute since we’ve handed one of these out, so we figured we’d give it to the guy who all our moms have crushes on after watching “Ozark”. Can’t wait to see you soon, Jason!” said Pudding President Nick Amador. “We have put tremendous effort into returning to the stage after the pandemic and having Jason Bateman join us in this exciting homecoming is a dream come true,” added co-producer Lucy Goldfarb.
