Jason Bateman Hasty Pudding’s Man of the Year

-

Jason Bateman was named the 2022 Man of the Year by Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatrical­s on Thursday, the first recipient of the award since 2020 because of the coronaviru­s pandemic.

Bateman, an actor, producer and director on the Netflix series “Ozark,” who also played a starring role in “Arrested Developmen­t,” will be given his pudding pot at a roast on Feb. 3, the theater troupe said in a statement.

“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,’” organizati­on President Nick Amador said.

The awards are given out to people who have made lasting and impressive contributi­ons to the world of entertainm­ent.
