Barbra presented the big award: “Best Musical.” Competing for the award in 1967 were Cabaret, I Do! I Do!, The Apple Tree, and Walking Happy.

Mary Martin introduced Barbra: “There are those people who are so very special with that special kind of magic that one really can't find anything more to say about them. They just are. And the audience know it. Who else could that be but ... Barbra Streisand.”

Streisand presented the award to Cabaret. She attended the awards with husband Elliott Gould and was captured by photographers mingling with the other stars after the show.
Streisand gives out the award at 57:30.
