from
Wikipedia
The following year, Shore composed the scores to Panic Room, Gangs of New York ( replacing Elmer Bernstein ), and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the second film in the trilogy.
The latter two films were both nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, although neither won.
Shore's score for The Two Towers was deemed ineligible for submission to the Academy, due to a new rule that disallowed the submission of scores which contained themes from previous work.
This rule proved very unpopular, due to the fact that had it been present in earlier years, it would have invalidated various other sequel scores ( such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones ) from being nominated.
