American Ferrera is forever indebted to Barbie.

Ferrera, who is nominated for an Oscar for her work in the Greta Gerwig film, admitted that working on "Barbie" impacted her life in more ways than one.

"I feel personally transformed by this journey," she said during an interview on the Academy Awards red carpet.

Earlier in the day, Eva Mendes gave a subtle shout-out to her favorite "Barbie" star while posing next to Ryan Gosling's dressing room backstage at the Oscars.

"Always by my man," Mendes wrote on Instagram.
