(Feb 24, 2008) - Barbra Streisand appeared on the Academy Awards telecast this evening in a pre-taped  special segment discussing her historic win as Best Actress of 1968. The segment was aired just 10 minutes into the show with Barbra reflecting on her award winning performance. Footage from the 1969 broadcast was shown with cameras on Barbra just moments after her name was announced, and then on stage as she accepted her award. A recently taped video of Barbra was also aired to mark the occasion and to accompany the brief retrospective. In a moment of modesty, here's how Barbra remembers winning her Best Actress Oscar:

A tie? There were five great performances. I mean, I felt mine was pretty good. Great I wouldn't say, but good, you know, pretty good. I thought, why don't they give us all plaques and be done with it, you know? Hello gorgeous. It was great.
