In 2003, "The Scientist" won multiple MTV Video Music Awards for Best Group Video, Best Direction, and Breakthrough Video. It was also nominated at the Grammy Awards for Best Music Video: Short Form. The single cover features drummer Will Champion, art-directed by Sølve Sundsbø.

The music video for "The Scientist" was very popular with its reverse narrative. A similar concept was previously used for Spike Jonze's music video for The Pharcyde's "Drop" and "Weird Al" Yankovic's music video for Amish Paradise. Irish actress Elaine Cassidy is also featured in the video. It took Chris Martin a month to learn the lyrics backwards.
