Second key Oscar and BAFTA, say, for original direction of Titanic (8)

I believe the answer is:

seawards

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for original direction of titanic' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'second key oscar and bafta' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'key' becomes 'e' (musical key).
'oscar' becomes 'award' (I've seen this before).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bafta' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
's'+'e'+'award'+'s'='SEAWARDS'

'say' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for seawards that I've seen is " In the direction of the ocean".)
