- Estonia won with “Everybody”, the first victory for a former Eastern Bloc debutant of the 1990s; winner Dave Benton (from Aruba) became the first Black winner and, at 50, the oldest at the time.
- The EBU also introduced optional 50/50 jury–televote blends and limited votes per household.
- Controversies included Terry Wogan’s on-air jabs prompting a BBC apology, Sweden facing plagiarism claims, and complaints over swearing in the interval act.
