Her accolades include two Academy Award nominations, and three nominations each for the British Academy Film Awards and the Golden Globe Awards.

According to Contactmusic.com, the 23-year-old actress will be joining the red carpet protest of women standing up against sexual harassment in Hollywood, and hopes the plan will "raise awareness" and support victims. "It's home to me more than anything else", noted Ronan.

Coming-of-age film Lady Bird today won the Golden Globe for best musical or comedy film, defeating a clutch of top-rated films including dark race satire Get Out and PT Barnum biopic The Greatest Showman.

Ronan received critical acclaim for playing a homesick Irish girl in 1950s NY in the drama Brooklyn (2015), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

"I want to say thank you to my mom and dad, and the people of Sacramento who gave me roots and wings", she said.
