One Direction have 'garnered' two prestigious nominations at the NME Awards, for Worst Band and Worst Album.
Joining the band in the least-loved LP category is Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way'.
NME have also nominated Gaga (and last year's recipient of Hero Of The Year) as 2011/2012's Villian Of The Year alongside other evildoers Justin Bieber and Nick Clegg.
Lady Gaga received her third nod for being good at Twitter in the hotly-contested Best Twitter prize.
