Looking back Goldsmith and Elmer Bernstein might have been the Oscar leaders for Best Rejected Scores:
WALL STREET
Correct me if I am wrong but I think I read somewhere that Goldsmith and Oliver Stone didn`t like each other or something like that and because of that JG did not write anything.
Thought I read in the Kritzerland "Alien Nation" booklet that material originally intended for "Wall Street" wound up forst in Jerry's unused AN score, then eventually in "Russia House."
In fact, look here:
http://www.kritzerland.com/alien_nation.htm
"Goldsmith’s score is very propulsive, and it has a great and memorable theme – that theme was originally written for but not used in Oliver Stone’s film, Wall Street. When the Alien Nation score was discarded, Goldsmith recycled the theme one more time and the third time was the charm – for the film The Russia House."

TORN CURTAIN - Bernard Herrmann
2001 - Alex North
PORTRAIT OF JENNIE - Bernard Herrmann
TROY - Gabriel Yared
THE EXORCIST - again Bernard Herrmann (though, actually, Herrmann rejected director Friedkin...)
MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY - Miklos Rozsa (although Rozsa had previous commitment)
FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE - (I think producer wanted Rozsa, but Rozsa demurred...)
THE GOOD EARTH - Arnold Schoenberg (Never wrote anything, because he asked producer Irving Thalberg during the interview how the film would be edited to his music...)
GREEN MANSIONS - Similar story with Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, who sent music to MGM, on the vague idea they would craft film around them. Some of his music remains in finished picture, but much of score is also original Bronislau Kaper.

Yes. Not counting demo cues/scores by other composers, Bernstein holds the record at 13 known replaced scores.

When compared to the ill-fitting jazz music that replaced it, Pino Donaggio's ORDEAL BY INNOCENCE is a shoo-in for that Oscar!

By the way, does Bernstein hold the record for most rejected scores? I think he had at least a dozen scores that were replaced.
