In my opinion, the Marcel Bezençon Awards should be a part of the Interval Act because it would give a lot more value to these awards which has been going on since 2002. I found it ridiculous that such awards are barely promoted and just shown as an "extra backstage video" the day after the Final.
The M.B.A.s could also bring spotlight to other artists especially the songwriters thanks to the "Composer Award" because unlike Melodifestivalen, Destination Eurovision or even Festival da canção, the general public (viewers) have no clue on who are the songwriters or composers of participating songs so being able to give these awards live during the Interval Act is the best way of promoting and acknowledging the great work that these artists made.
I think it could be a win-win for everyone involved : artists, host broadcasters, EBU....
NB : The only thing that could prevent this might be the fear of giving away the winner of the contest or at least entries that might do well at the end. If we look at the winners of the three Marcel Bezençon Awards (Press, Artistic and Composer Awards), a lot of them either won or finished well.
I saw on Instagram that Duncan won the Press Award, who won the other two? If no news yet, who do you think will win?
(descriptions from Wikipedia)
- Press Award - Given to the best entry as voted on by the accredited media and press during the event.
- Artistic Award - Presented to the best artist as voted on by the commentators (2010 until presently). Until 2009 as voted by previous winners
- Composer Award - A jury consisting of the participating composers vote for the best and most original composition.
Do your worst!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
I don't know if anyone has noted this here, but this is what I kept in my head already before the finals.
France was second by juries, third by televote, second overall in the Grand Final, second by bookies, third in OGAE poll, second in eurovisionworld "who should win" poll, second in both Wiwi Jury and Wiwi Scoreboard, third in our sub's final top 39 poll and now she is third in My Eurovision Scoreboard.
Well, at least, Barbara won Marcel Bezençon Awards... TWO of THREE btw.
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
“BOOM”?!
