CBS has revealed the nominees for the 2017 People’s Choice Awards.

Spanning movies, television, music, and digital, the lengthy nomination list covers many of the biggest names and entities in entertainment.

One particularly interesting race comes in the Breakout Artist category. In addition to DNCE, The Chainsmokers, and Alessia Cara, the category features One Direction originals ZAYN and Niall Horan.

ZAYN famously departed One Direction prior to the release of its fifth album. Horan, meanwhile, released his debut solo record amid the group’s current hiatus.

Produced by Mark Burnett, the ceremony airs at 9PM ET/PT on January 18.
