Whoopi Goldberg was presented with the Marlon Brando Award at the 2009 Stella by Starlight Gala on Monday night in New York.
The Oscar-Emmy-Tony-Grammy winner was handed the prize by legendary actress Rube Dee, according to reports.
Goldberg, who also co-hosts ABC's "The View," said she was flattered to receive the accolade but would rather have her late friend Brando back by her side instead.
