This is where my love of Lady Bird is first going to show itself this awards announcement. Boy, I was blown away by the film and one of the lasting elements which I take away from the film is even in a runtime of 90 minutes the film was filled with an ensemble of characters who each in there one way could've been the lead character of this film. This attention to character comes in the script and direction but the cast in those roles shine to making the collaboration so great. Characters played by Stephen Henderson and Lois Smith are small roles in the story of Lady Bird but each make a strong impression when they are given attention and to me, this shows the power of a cast ensemble to make me completely care about every character featured in the film.
