Believing that the Oscars are going to continue on with Fiji Water Girl’s fifteen minutes of fame is anyone’s guess. But given that the Academy is doing their best to keep relevant and give people a reason to be entertained, it’s possible.
Including Fiji Water Girl in the Red Carpet (and perhaps even a cameo during the show) could be one piece of an overarching plan for the Oscars to come off young, hip, and in touch with modern references.
Great Advertising or Accidental Fame?
It’s still unclear whether the debut of Fiji Water Girl was a well calculated marketing tool utilized by Fiji Water the brand itself, or if Cuthbert simply took her opportunity and spontaneously ran with it.
Regardless, the future of Fiji Water Girl has endless possibilities. The public is speculating she could be featured in a possible Netflix series, host Saturday Night Live, or become the official face of Fiji Water.
For now, watch for her to sneak a little smirk in on the Oscars’ red carpet.
