WE DON’T GET to see Greta Gerwig and Saoirse Ronan’s new film Lady Bird in cinemas until mid-February, but it’s been gaining a ridiculous amount of momentum in the States in the run up to awards season.
And last night it got the seal of approval from none other than RuPaul.
RuPaul LOVED the film and tweeted that praise to over a million followers
Whoops!

Great!
But… there was only one slight problem:
Sir Shaw!
“I dub thee… Sir Shaw of the Ronan Dynasty”
People immediately picked up on this comical misspelling of Saoirse
This is a new one in the pantheon of Saoirse’s name-related mishaps in the States
Whoops!

Possibly the best one? Sir Shaw has a grandness to it you don’t get with many typos
People were confused for a while about who/what Sir Shaw was
Whoops!

Auto correct, maybe? Either way, it’s unintentional comedy of the highest order
“And the Oscar goes to… Sir Shaw Ronan!”
Whoops!

The Queen has spoken
Arise, Sir Shaw.
