"I would cry meeting Roz": Hilarious reactions erupt as a moving model of Roz from ‘THE WILD ROBOT’ greets guests at BAFTAs

This year's BAFTAs? Oh, they've seen it all - glamour, glitz, statues, and now, a moving replica of Roz from the movie, The Wild Robot, welcoming attendees as they make their way down the red carpet. Naturally, that was what the red carpet was lacking: a robot who likely possesses more personality than half the nominated.

Ditch the classic glam photos and celeb handshakes - this year, all about robots with impeccable etiquette.

Roz's duty was to greet guests with open arms (or mechanical limbs), likely to dispense some words of wisdom such as, "You look wonderful, but you really should think of recycling this dress for next year." This BAFTA is officially 'out of this world.'

And, naturally, Roz wasn't standing around looking adorable in a corner. No way, she was quite likely the most tech-savvy greeter the BAFTAs have ever had -spewing out digital greetings with the exactness of a robot who has learned the art of charm or at least, robotic politeness.

As the celebrities arrived, Roz was likely going over them like, "Hmm, from your body language and dress, I'm gonna guess you have a 78% chance of winning that award. Now, don't tread on my circuits."

Who would have thought that what the BAFTAs were missing was a robot helper with more tact than most of us? It's safe to say Roz was the true star of the night - at least until she inevitably stole someone's spotlight by walking off with an award for Best AI at an Event.

As soon as the video went viral, someone (@KarimCheese) took to his X account and commented:

"I would cry meeting Roz"

Well, who wouldn't? like, you're here, minding your own business, trying to make your way to your seat, and next thing you know, you're standing in front of a robot who is already probably processing your emotional response to your sweat glands' activity.

Roz is the kind of robot who would size you up and down, nod thoughtfully, and then proceed to give you a life-changing pep talk about recycling. Imagine getting all teary-eyed because you’re overwhelmed by her wisdom - or maybe just because she doesn’t have any idea what to do with your selfie request.

Either way, Roz isn’t just a robot; she’s a walking, talking emotional experience. And of course, the web, predictably, went into meltdown - some were awed, some wondered if they could upgrade their own welcome system to a robot that can make small talk.

Whatever the response was, one thing was certain: Roz wasn't a robot, she was the new celebrity of the night. Let's see what the fans thought of this iconic moment!

"That robot look really strange"

Ultimately, Roz's BAFTA appearance confirmed one thing: robots could very well be in the future of red carpet welcomes - and perhaps even therapy. Who requires a personal stylist when you have a walking model that can inform you what is amiss with your attire, your stance, and perhaps your life decisions?

Whether she's swiping the spotlight with perfect table manners or discreetly criticizing your wardrobe, something is for sure: Roz was the real MVP of the night.
