I'll second that.  But I wonder...

Do you suppose Annie did that because she knew she was going
to lose out to a drag queen for (I think it was) Best New Group?
John Denver certainly looked surprised.  If so, I love it even more.

Assuming my guess is right, you have spotted the only two acts
with any credibility on the whole show - Herbie is a *STAR* with
his robots.  Now that's entertainment!!


Good tunes to you,
