In her acceptance speech, Cuthbert graciously thanks social media and celebrities like Richard Madden and Luke Evans for helping her to go viral and “allowing me the space to have my best angle.” However, her final thanks was very on-brand with the moniker that’s been bestowed upon her by the Internet, Fiji water girl. “I’d like to thank water.
