Abstract

The article focuses on the key moments and controversies surrounding the grand final of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest held at Malmo Arena, Sweden. Swiss singer Nemo won the competition with their operatic pop-rap song "The Code," marking Switzerland's first victory since 1988. The event featured notable appearances, including Hollywood actor Malin Akerman co-hosting alongside Swedish comedian Petra Mede, and a tribute involving virtual avatars of ABBA, which received mixed reactions. The contest was overshadowed by political tensions related to the Israel-Hamas war, protests in Malmo, and the disqualification of Dutch contestant Joost Klein amid an investigation. Other highlights included Ireland's Bambie Thug making a pro-Palestine statement, Israel's Eden Golan receiving a mixed audience reaction, and the return of 2023 winner Loreen.
