Small note but the Youtube channel has started uploading previous Grand Finals from the past decade which is nice. Also not region blocked in the US - hopefully that means the IP restriction that was in place last year is gone for 2020 this time

Unlikely as the EBU has signed a new deal with Netflix for exclusive US distribution rights for the 2020 Contest.

Is Will Ferrell's Eurovision movie being made with Netflix?

Yes. It will premiere just before the 2020 Contest.

We have a stage design .....





..... The preparation for this year's contest is exemplary, compared to the politics of recent years.

The Netherlands seems more prepared for this contest as Ukraine 2017 and Israel 2019 were tbh

Portugal 2018 did an amazing job imo for a first-time host

The creative team is complete. This year no Bjorkman as expected.

Head of Show: Gerben Bakker. Responsible for the opening and interval acts, makes the running order of the shows and writes the script for the presenters.
Head of Contest: Twan van de Nieuwenhuijzen. Works together with the 41 countries to get the acts as beautiful as possible on stage.
Musical Director: Eric van Tijn. Will make the theme song, postcards underscore and voting underscore, among other things. He compensated the Dutch songs at Eurovision in 1993 and 1998, which then became 6th and 4th.
Choreographers: Gerald van Windt & Natasja Lammers.

It was also announced today that the Dutch government has approved the 12.4 million euros that the NPO has asked to close the total budget of the 3 shows, which is now 26.5 million euros.

Slogan, theme, stage and presenters, all announced in the space of about a month. Don't think I've ever known a Eurovision host ever be this prepared!

Well, they've done this before in 1958, 1970, 1976 and 1980 Wink
