While everyone is looking forward to the upcoming star-studded Teen Choice Awards 2015, fans of the popular boy band 'One Direction' aren't happy about one of the nominations, which places Zayn Malik and the new four-piece band under the category of 'Choice Male Hottie' award.

Zayn Malik, who recently left the British band early this year, will be pitted against his former bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne for the award. And this has caused mayhem in the 1D fandom,which seems to be more heartbreaking for their supporters. 

On Twitter, fans began airing their disappointment at the TCA as soon as the news broke out. While they are glad that the band is up for the award, they never thought that boys will be pitted against each other. 

Since the winners will be chosen via votes, the legions of fans will have a hard time picking who they want to win.

This year's Teen Choice Awards, which will take place on August 16, has just announced the row of nominees under Choice Music, including 5 Seconds of Summer, Ariana Grande, Iggy Azalea, Vanessa Hudgens, Fergie, Lea Michele and Britney Spears.

As for the other Teen Choice Awards, "Wrecking Ball" singer Miley Crus has been enlisted under the 'Female Hottie' category along with other big-named celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Cara Levigne, Rihanna and Selena Gomez.

Comedy artists Amy Schumer, Ellen Degeneres, George Lopez, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Kevin Hart are contenders for this year's 'Favorite Comedian'.

Actors and actresses under the movie category include the late Paul Walker, Tylor Lautner, Dylan O’Brien, Ansel Elgort, Theo James, Vin Diesel, Maggie Grace, Kaya Scodelario, Jordana Brewster, Alexandra Daddario, Michelle Rodriguez and Shailene Woodley.

Voting for the nominees has just started last Wednesday, June 10. See other Teen Choice Awards nominees here .
