But Liam Payne says he's not bothered about being nominated alongside his mates.
"It's amazing that we've come fresh out of our band and everyone's up for these things," he told Newsbeat.
But where will he keep the award (if he wins)...
This year's statues have been specially designed by Anish Kapoor.
But while past winners have used the awards as door stops, and even put them up for sale, Liam has built a special place in his house.
"I had this bar area built in our house and we've got a snooker table in there," he explained.
"There's all awards around that part of it."

"I've got a big crush on Jorja Smith," he explained.
The Brits Critics' Choice winner is his "favourite" apparently.
"I saw her yesterday and we had a little bit of chemistry."
If love blossoms, J Hus could take a few tips from Liam Payne it seems.
The Strip That Down singer revealed how he and partner Cheryl Tweedy hid their relationship at the Brits one year.
"We snuck out of the Brits together, and we bumped into every single newspaper person we could possibly bump into - which I thought was really hilarious."
The awards take place on Wednesday 21 February at London's O2 Arena.
