Despite not entering the competition as the front-runner, Nemo (who uses they/them pronouns) defied the odds in the grand final. They won over the jury and secured 22 sets of the maximum 12 points to win 365 jury points for a grand total of 591 points, defeating Croatia’s runner-up Baby Lasagna with “Rim Tim Tagi Dim”, who lost by 44 points despite winning the public vote.

In Nemo’s own words, their song sees them trying to “crack their own code and enter the kingdom of authenticity.” It was inspired by the freedom they gained by realizing they’re non-binary after a long and often difficult journey of self-discovery.

In addition to making history as the first non-binary Eurovision winner, Nemo is the first contestant to bring Eurovision to their home country in almost four decades. This marks Switzerland’s first victory since 1988, when Celine Dion emerged as the winner with “Ne partez pas sans moi”.

Måneskin took part in the competition with the song “Zitti e buoni”, which literally translates as “shut up and behave”. They celebrated their victory with the words “rock n roll never dies” and delivered a celebratory performance of their rebellious anthem about defying society’s expectations.

Måneskin is currently Italy’s third Eurovision Song Contest winner. This country previously won in 1964 with Gigliola Cinquetti’s “Non ho l’età” and 1990 with Toto Cutugno’s “Insieme: 1992”. They’re also the first band to win since Finland’s Lordi was crowned as the winner in 2006.

Barbara Pravi from France made it the no. 2 spot, while Switzerland’s Gjon’s Tears came in third. Iceland and Ukraine rounded out the top five. The 65th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands between May 18-22, marking the fifth time the contest returned to this country.

The news was announced by Will Ferrell Tuesday with an Instagram post. 

The singer will star opposite Ferrell, who also co-wrote the comedy film. Eurovision marks her first movie appearance since Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam in 2010. 

Eurovision follows a pair of aspiring Icelandic musicians who are given the opportunity of a lifetime to represent their country at the annual song contest.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Lovato will play Katiana, one of the best and most angelic singers in all of Iceland. Ferrell and Rachel McAdams will star as the aspiring Icelandic musicians Lars Erickssong and Sigrit Ericksdottir. Pierce Brosnan also stars in the feature as Ferrell’s character’s dad, the most handsome man in Iceland. 

Ferrell penned the script with longtime collaborator, Adam McKay. Set to direct is David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) with McKay serving as executive producer on the project. 

Laurence won the hearts of the audience with his song “Arcade”, and many people saw him as top contender from the very start. He represented the Netherlands and went on to become the first person from his country to come out victorious at Eurovision since 1975.

The Dutch contestant was named as the winner after receiving a total of 492 votes, but things were pretty tense until the very last moment. Italy was right behind with 465 points, while Russia took the third spot with 369.

This year’s Eurovision Song Contest took place in Tel Aviv, Israel and the ceremony was quite a spectacle. Numerous past winners made a surprise appearance, but the most highly-anticipated and talked-about moment of the competition was Madonna’s performance.

While the singing competition might not be a thing when it comes to musical events for the US, it is quite popular in Europe, with 186 million viewers tuning in to this year’s edition.

As part of the streaming giant’s attempt to create content that will appeal to its international subscribers, particularly those across the Atlantic, the new feature film will be based around the Eurovision song contest. 

According to The Guardian, Ferrell is a real fan of the musical competition ever since his Swedish wife introduced him to it. He was even spotted at this year’s contest. 

Ferrell will star and co-write alongside Andrew Steele. He will also produce for Gary Sanchez Productions with Jessica Elbaum. Adam McKay is set as executive producer.

The still-untitled project will be the second feature-length production the actor has collaborated on with the streaming service. Just last month Netflix released  Ibiza, a comedy he produced starring Gillian Jacobs.
