Switzerland’s Nemo Wins 2024 Eurovision Song Contest

Switzerland's Nemo took the top prize for 'The Code' at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday.

Nemo bested Croatia’s Baby Lasagna, a favorite to win, with his song, “Rim Tim Tagi Dim” — he came in second place. The lead-up to the tense grand final included some controversy: Mere hours before the winner was to be crowned, Netherland’s Joost Klein was ousted after the singer had advanced from the semi-finals on Thursday following his performance of the song “Europapa.” However, he was not present during rehearsals on Friday. During Tuesday night’s semi-final, Sweden’s 2011 Eurovision winner, Eric Saade (who is half-Palestinian) performed in the halftime slot.
