Lady Bird is loosely based on director Greta Gerwig’s own coming-of-age, with the film centering around a high school senior’s turbulent relationship with her mother.
It was third time lucky for the talented actress, who was previously nominated for her role in Atonement in 2008, and then again for Brooklyn in 2016.
Her unique name garnered a lot of attention during the swanky Hollywood evening, after fellow screen star Jessica Chastain was accused of ‘butchering’ the pronunciation of Saoirse’s Ronan’s moniker as she presented her with a Best Actress prize.

The Molly’s Game star, 40, took to the stage with Thor hunk, 34, to announce the nominations, but Jessica quickly ran into hot water when she attempted to pronounce the Lady Bird star’s moniker while reading out her name alongside fellow nominees Judi Dench, Helen Mirren, Margot Robbie and Emma Stone.
Things went from bad to worse when the actress realised she would have to say the tricky Irish name once again when she opened an envelope to reveal Saoirse had won the coveted prize.
Co-presenter Chris provided little help, and didn’t even attempt to get his tongue around the name, which Jessica pronounced as ‘Sher-sha’.
Twitter users quickly flocked to social media to mock the incident, with one writing: ‘Jessica chastain butchering saoirse Ronan’s name is making my eye twitch.’

The Brooklyn star also addressed the issue while making her Saturday Night Live hosting debut in December, kicking off her episode with a public service announcement on how to pronounce her name.
