Hollywood first took notice of Ronan when she was just 13, scoring her first Oscar nomination for a turn in “Atonement.” She has confidently held the industry’s attention ever since, with savvy career choices and performances that earned her follow-up Oscar nods for “Brooklyn” and “Lady Bird” (not to mention a Golden Globe win along the way). It seems only a matter of time before Academy voters make it official, especially given the high-profile prestige projects she has chosen to headline in the wake of “Lady Bird”: “Mary Queen of Scots,” in which she plays the title character opposite Margot Robbie’s Queen Elizabeth, and the developing “Little Women,” where she’ll play tomboy Jo March and reunite with “Lady Bird” writer-director Greta Gerwig.
