Each year a lucky lady is picked to receive the honor, and this time around Claire Danes was doted with Hasty Pudding’s 2012 Woman of the Year title.

The Golden Globe winning actress took to the campus of Harvard University to join in on an elaborate parade and Pudding Pot ceremony through the streets of Boston.

As for picking Miss Danes as the winner of the award, a mission statement noted that she “has made an indelible mark on the world of entertainment, in both drama and comedy.”

Meanwhile, actor Jason Segel will be making his way to Havard next week (February 3) to undergo the same ceremony as the 2012 Hasty Pudding’s Man of the Year.
