Mark Ronson praised Margot Robbie for putting Barbie together after he was nominated for an Oscar for his work on the soundtrack for the blockbuster movie.
Australian actress Robbie lost out on a best actress nomination on Tuesday but was given a nod for best picture as a producer of the highest-grossing film of last year.
British record producer Ronson and American musician Andrew Wyatt were named for consideration for an original song Academy Award for power ballad I'm Just Ken.
American singer Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O’Connell appeared in the same category for Barbie soundtrack song What Was I Made For?
Ronson also praised Greta Gerwig, who was overlooked in the director category, for "touching us at such a soulful level - and helped bring people back to the movies in droves while doing so" in an Instagram post.
Greta Gerwig was nominated for the adapted screenplay prize for the movie about the Mattel doll journeying to the real world alongside her husband and fellow screenwriter Noah Baumbach.
The film got a total of eight nods, behind Oppenheimer, which stormed ahead with 13 nominations.
Ronson also wrote on Instagram that Ryan Gosling, who played Ken and was given a supporting actor nomination, Wyatt and Sich Wolfgang Van Halen were "grateful and honoured to be recognized by our peers and heroes in the Academy music branch".
He added: "We salute Ryan for bringing everything to it. AND Margot Robbie because there is no 'just Ken, it’s Barbie AND Ken, she put this whole damn thing together and then gave a tour de force ‘make you laugh one second and cry the next’ performance that will go in the books.
"We love you… And once again, all praise to the brilliant Greta Gerwig who delivered a unprecedented kaleidoscopic vision of a warmer world that made us hurt from laughing while touching us at such a soulful level – and helped bring people back to the movies in droves while doing so.
"AND inspired all of us to do our best work ever. And to everyone who sang along in the theatre, in the car, at home or into their phone – you all got us here so thank you."
