Kunis' appearance at the event has stirred up controversy. Many were wondering if the mother of two would accept the honor, as Hasty Pudding Theatricals has excluded women from performing in it's shows for decades. Instead, male actors perform in drag.
However, a message on their website states that having an all-male cast is "an artistic decision."
"In considering an augmentation to the roots of what has made the Pudding famous, it is imperative that we take proper steps and make thoughtful considerations to ensure the continued success of our organization," the group adds. "This is a conversation that has been ongoing for some time, and we look forward to continuing this dialogue with our members, officers, alumni and the broader community."
