Partly it's due to a new category added this year (Best Casting) which Titanic didn't have available back in 1998.

I like the term 'traumatic masculinity' more than 'toxic masculinity'.
It provides greater clarity to both cause and effect. "Toxic masculinity" doesn't snap into existence fully formed, it is caused by the traumatizing way we raise men. And its effects are that it further traumatizes - women […]

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.
