This is gonna get real awkward real fast.
The moment that Directioners everywhere have dreaded has come a lot sooner than expected - the remaining members of 1D are being pitted against Zayn for an award.
The first wave of 2015's Teen Choice Award nominations appeared online last night, and fans quickly spotted a very glaring anomaly: In the "Choice Male Hottie" category (yep, this is a thing), the combined hotness of the 1D boys is going head-to-head with the likes of Justin Bieber, Austin Mahone... and Zayn Malik.
And fans are freaked.
TEEN CHOICE AWARD IS SO STUPID PUTTING ZAYN AND ONE DIRECTION IN THE SAME CATEGORY LIKE WTF MAN #1DForMMVA

Well I'm sorry but I'm gonna be voting for the boys bc Zayn wants to be a normal 22 year old and normal 22 year olds don't get awards

And some actually fancy Zayn's chances.
"why is zayn nominated?" because he's fine as hell and his fashion sense is the best and always has been out of all of the boys combined

Zayn Already knows he's the hottest he doesn't need an award for it, but it would be cool to get one for him

But a few can see right through the Teen Choice Awards' plans.
Teen choice putting the boys and Zayn in the same category wanting to start drama and fights is so wrong don't give them what they want

this whole zayn vs 1d thing is a pr stunt and a desperate way to get views for a pathetic award show don't pay too much attention to it

By complete coincidence, Zayn dropped by Instagram this morning with newly-bleached white hair and a "Vote For Me" smoulder, just to low-key remind you just how hot he is.
What do you think; have the boys combined got a chance against the dreamy might of their former band member, or is it all a big Teen Choice PR stunt? Let us know in the comments.
