The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest winner has been crowned. On Saturday, the annual music event came to a close with Switzerland’s Nemo taking the top prize for their performance of “The Code.”
Nemo bested Croatia’s Baby Lasagna, a favorite to win, with his song, “Rim Tim Tagi Dim” — he came in second place. Ukraine was third, followed by France and Israel.

Switzerland has won the Eurovision Song Contest.
Swiss entry Nemo stormed the contest with the song “The Code,” walking away with 591 points — a combination of a jury vote and public vote.
But during Nemo’s victory performance at the end of the four-hour show the singer accidentally dropped the microphone-shaped glass trophy, injuring their thumb in the process.
“I didn’t just break ‘The Code’ I also broke the trophy,” said Nemo during the press conference after the show, where their hand was wrapped in a bandage. “I broke my thumb as well. But I got a new [trophy] so I technically have two now.”
The non-binary singer — who is the first Swiss Eurovision winner since Celine Dion won in 1988 — was presented with the trophy by last year’s winner, Swedish singer Loreen.
Croatian entry Baby Lasagna came in second with 547 points during the 2024 contest followed by Ukraine’s Alyona Alyona...

France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and the UK, which hosted last year after the 2022 winner, Ukraine, couldn’t host due to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, have five wins each.
Israel have won four times while Denmark, Italy, Norway, and Ukraine have won three times each. Austria, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland have won twice. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Latvia, Monaco, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, and Yugoslavia have all won once.

10 countries have triumphed in the first semi-final of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden, when 16 countries competed to get through to Saturday’s Grand Final.
Ukraine, whose entry Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil spoke to Deadline last week when they pledged to give any prize money to their country’s war effort, were one of the successful countries to get through. They joined Serbia, Portugal, Slovenia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Finland, Croatia, Ireland and Luxembourg.
This year sees 37 countries taking part. The host country Sweden, plus “the big 5” countries – UK, France, Spain, Germany and Italy – all go through automatically to the Final.

In 2022, Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra won the Eurovision Song Contest and promptly sold their winners’ trophy for $900,000 to raise money to help with the war effort. The distinctive crystal microphone was auctioned on Facebook and funds were used to buy drones for Ukraine’s military.
In an interview with Deadline, this year’s entrants have pledged to make similar efforts, telling us any money they raise from the contest will go towards rebuilding a school in the Dnipropetrovsk region destroyed by a Russian missile in 2022.
Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil reflected on the significance of Kalush Orchestra’s Eurovision victory that same year. Alyona said: “For Ukraine, it was very important because it was [about] attention. Then they sold their trophy, created a lottery and were able to spread information about the truth [of the war]. We have [to deal with] a lot of propaganda.”
Alyona and Heil are currently fifth favorites to emulate Kalush Orchestra’s success,...
