Billboard[4] of 1 January 1966 reported that the awards 'will be announced at a banquet Feb. 28 at the Hollywood Palladium'; BMI's July 1966 report and its 1968 retrospective put the first annual awards dinner at the Hollywood Palladium 'in February' 1966, and the web's summaries of the ACM history repeat 28 February (a Monday). No post-event newspaper giving the day was reachable, so the day rests on the announced banquet date plus the February/Palladium confirmations; no start time is given, so the pin is the all-day date.The Academy of Country & Western Music held its first awards dinner at the Hollywood Palladium on 28 February 1966, naming Roger Miller Man of the Year, Buck Owens top male vocalist and Bonnie Owens top female vocalist.
