Talk about getting the pudding.
In her book, Yes Please, Amy Poehler likens the experience of being nominated for an award as wanting the pudding. Well, the 2015 Golden Globes co-host may not have been nominated for one of those awards this year, but she’ll get a different kind of pudding when she accepts Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ Woman of the Year Award this January.
Poehler, who grew up outside of Boston, was named the 2015 female honoree. Past recipients of the honor, bestowed annually on performers who have made lasting and impressive contributions to the world of entertainment, include Meryl Streep, Katharine Hepburn, Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster, Elizabeth Taylor, Anne Hathaway, Claire Danes, Marion Cotillard and last year’s recipient, Helen Mirren.
