So this year's winner is Sweden. He is quite pleased. Just look at his happy little face. ^u^
He fought quite a battle with the Russian grannies, but ended up beating them.
The "screw you" to Norway and Denmark is because Sweden only gave 3 points to Norway and nothing to Denmark.
In the end Norway ended up at the very bottom with only 7 points and Denmark fourth last with 21 points.
The rest can be explained by the acts.

@ScottishHetalianCat Saaaame here. It seems like so much fun! Every time there's a Eurovision comic, I listen to the songs in the links, and they're all so catchy.
@MossyBallerina @ScottishHetalianCat this year it is in the International Exhibition Centre, Kyiv, Ukraine, because Jamala won with the song 1944 for Ukraine last year in Sweden.
For USA (MossyBallerina) it will be broadcasted on Logo TV for the final only (hosted by Carson Kressley and Michelle Collins) or the Eurovision YouTube Channel.
For Scotland (ScottishHetalianCat) it will be broadcasted on BBC4 for Semis (hosted by Scott Mills and Mel Giedroyc) and BBC1 for Final (hosted by Graham Norton), or the final can also be on BBC Radio 2, where the host is currently unknown, or the Eurovision YouTube channel.
The semis will be on the 9th and 11th of May and the final will be on the 13th of May.
The contestants this year are - Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, FYR Macedonia, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Serbia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and UK.
A lot of contestants has revealed that they're entering, there are also national selections where a lot of participants enter to try and enter in Eurovision, I recommend giving them a watch, and they can be found about on the websites I'll link below, but two national selections have happened, Armenia will send Artsvik but haven't released their song, and Albania will send Lindita Halimi with the song Bote, which will be changed to English. A link to Lindita's song -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txEUYBnb6o0
@MossyBallerina oh yeah, two new songs have also been announced. Belarus are sending Navi with a song in Belarusian I can't be bothered writing now and Georgia is sending a girl called Tako singing Keep my Faith
I just noticed... Why is Finland not in this comic? I think there could be a great comic made out of the fact that Finland's song was sung in swedish...
And Austria's song was also really... special.
