- The Eurovision Song Contest 2009 was the 54th edition held in Moscow, Russia at the Olympic Indoor Arena. The two semi-finals took place on 12 May and 14 May 2009 presented by Natalia Vodianova and Andrey Malahov, while the final took place on 16 May presented by Ivan Urgant and 2000 Russian Eurovision participant Alsou. 42 countries participated, Slovakia returned and San Marino withdrew. Georgia was forced to withdraw after it was learned that their chosen song featured political content which was a violation of the contest's rules. Despite not being able to participate in the contest, Australia sent Julia Zemiro and Sam Pang as its commentators to Moscow on behalf of their public channel SBS for the first time, having aired the contest since 1983 and gaining a massive fan following since then. There was also a change for the United Kingdom when popular TV presenter Graham Norton took over commentary duties at the grand final for the BBC from Sir Terry Wogan, who had resigned from the position following the result of the previous year's contest. In response to the criticisms regarding the voting system in the previous contests, the system was re-vamped for the 2009 contest. For the grand final, each country's votes would be decided by a combination of 50% televoting results and 50% national jury. The semi-finals would remain the same as in 2008, with 9 qualifiers decided by public televote and the tenth decided by a backup jury. Norway won the contest for the third time with the song Fairytale by Alexander Rybak, breaking the all-time record for points with 387 (which was eventually broken by Jamala in 2016 due to a new voting system). Among the Big Four nations, the United Kingdom placed the highest finishing 5th overall, their second-best record of the 21st century.
