Audie Awards 2024 divulga projetos finalistas
PublishNews, Redação, 31/01/2025
Vencedores serão anunciados no dia 4 de março; em 2025 o prêmio conta com 28 categorias

A Audio Publishers Association divulgou a lista de finalistas para o Audie Awards, considerado o "Oscar" dos audiolivros nos EUA. Em 2025, o programa comemora seu aniversário de 30 anos. Os vencedores das 28 categorias da competição serão nomeados em 4 de março em um evento na cidade de Nova York que terá autora e atriz Amy Sedaris, indicada para um Audie em 2008, como apresentadora da cerimônia.

Sean McManus, presidente da Audio Publishers Association e da Dreamscape Media, vencedora do Audie Awards no passado, disse: “Ao comemorarmos o 30º aniversário do Audie Awards, estamos refletindo sobre três décadas de homenagens ao incrível talento e à inovação no setor de audiolivros. Também estamos entusiasmados por ter Amy Sedaris como nossa anfitriã. Sua inteligência, seu charme e seu inconfundível senso de humor darão um brilho único à noite. É uma combinação perfeita para um evento que celebra a arte da voz e da performance, e mal podemos esperar para que todos se juntem a nós nesta celebração especial.”

De acordo com Porter Anderson, do Publishing Perspectives, uma das maneiras pelas quais os Audies são semelhantes a outros programas de prêmios de livros e editoras é que eles têm o potencial de contribuir para as percepções do setor sobre como seus reconhecimentos movimentam as vendas de audiolivros. Segundo ele, seria útil saber o quanto essas honrarias para tantos trabalhos excelentes em audiolivros realmente podem significar no mercado.

Ele exemplifica que, no Reino Unido, o setor de livros se beneficiou quando a Booker Prize Foundation, o Baillie Gifford Prize e o British Academy Book Prize for Global Cultural Understanding passaram a compartilhar informações sobre os efeitos que seus prêmios têm sobre as vendas. No site da associação é possível ver todos os finalistas das 28 categorias.
