"Accidentally in Love" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Counting Crows also performed the song at the ceremony but did not win the award. The song also received nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
Music video[edit]
The main music video for the song, directed by Meiert Avis, features a stuffed toy rabbit (voiced by Adam Duritz, lead singer of Counting Crows) in the apartment of a young couple (the girl is Ashley Roberts from The Pussycat Dolls[1] and the boy is LA Models model Steve Vanda), complete with a TV showing scenes from the film. The rabbit comes to life and serenades the girl. She falls in love with it and leaves her boyfriend behind while he is in the kitchen making breakfast for her.
An alternative music video for the song is included on the Shrek 2 DVD as a bonus feature, and combines clips from the movie with scenes of Duritz recording the song.
