"The awards are presented annually to performers who have made lasting and impressive contributions to the world of entertainment. Keaton, known for performances in "Batman," "Beetlejuice," and "Birdman," will be honored on Feb. 6 with a celebratory roast. Oscar-nominated Byrne will receive her Pudding Pot on Feb. 13. "Keaton is no stranger to being a superhero, but let's see if that training earns him a Pudding Pot," said Hasty Pudding Theatricals' producer Eloise Tunnell."
""We are thrilled to honor Rose Byrne as our Woman of the Year," said Hasty Pudding Theatricals' President Daisy Nussbaum. "Hot off a Golden Globe win and an Oscar nomination, it's only right that she receives the most prestigious award of all: a Pudding Pot." Byrne has starred in "Neighbors," "Bridesmaids," and "Damages," and was recently nominated for an Academy Award for her role in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.""
