Barbra Streisand, Whoopi Goldberg, Kate McKinnon Among Audie Award Winners: See the Full List!

The 2025 Audie Awards was a star-studded affair — with several Hollywood A-listers and notable authors taking some of the evening’s top honors.

The Audio Publishers Association held their 30th annual Audie Awards at Pier Sixty in New York City where the APA honored numerous celebrities including Kate McKinnon, 41, Whoopi Goldberg, 69, and Barbra Streisand, 82, and longtime authors like Stephen King, for their audiobook work.

The Funny Girl star notably took home the awards for both the highly-contested Audiobook of the Year and Best Autobiography/Memoir with her novel My Name Is Barbra. Though Streisand was not able to attend the awards, Penguin Random House Audio’s Karen Dziekonski accepted on her behalf and opened up about the recording process with the Oscar-winning actress.

“Every recording session with Barbra was an absolute open door into her process,” Dziekonski said during the awards ceremony. “It showed what a steadfast and committed artist that she is. And a remarkable human being.” 

Goldberg, who earned Best Narration for her narration of her novel Bits and Pieces, also had a sentimental moment on the stage as she expressed her gratitude to all the narrators in the room who have helped her discover new stories through the audiobook format.

“You all should know that I probably have each and every one of you in my phone because I have ten thousand audiobooks,” Goldberg said. “I grew up dyslexic so hearing things read to me is heaven.”
