Harry Styles named Villain of the Year at the NME Awards 2014

The One Direction singer was given the dubious honour, amazingly voted ahead of UK .

Harry Styles has been voted Villain of the Year at the NME Awards 2014 with Austin, Texas .

The 19-year-old singer was named the unenviable winner in the category for the second year in a row, despite being nominated alongside the unpopular pair of David Cameron and Vladimir Putin.

Yep - maybe it should've been expected that the One Direction hunk would be deemed more 'worthy' of the prize, even alongside our prime minister and the president of Russia .

The former X Factor runner-up was also up against Wrecking Ball star Miley Cyrus and newly-single Robin Thicke, who upset a fair few people with various incidents over the past year.

Maybe it's that he gets his pick of the ladies , or perhaps his wealth or questionable tattoos?

Regardless, despite some stiff competition it seems NME readers still consider the boy band hunk to be the more villainous than some of the most contentious personalities in the world.

On this basis, it might not be a bad call to put money on Justin Bieber to pick up this 'prize' next year - or maybe Harry will make it a hat-trick with his third award in three years.

Thankfully for Directioners, the group didn't get named Worst Band winners - or is it losers? - this time round, avoiding a repeat of last year's event and passing the torch onto The 1975 after taking home the gong in 2012 and 2013.
