Titanic received Academy Awards for: Best Picture, Best Director, Cinematography, Art Direction, Costume, Visual Effects, Sound, Sound Effects Editing, Film Editing, Original Dramatic Score, and Original Song.

This is what I heard after reading TFA, "We hear you and your friends are making money without including us. No respect! This is our neighborhood. You and your friends should show us some respect. You should let us wet our beak a little. We hear you and your friends are making a lot of money, and you should let us in on the action, for your own protection -- and we'll forget the insult. You young punks have to learn to respect people like us! Otherwise the cops will come to your house, and your family will be ruined. Of course, if we're wrong about how much you made, we'll take a little less. And by less, I only mean a little bit less. Now don't refuse us."
