One Direction want to win an Oscar with new film

One Direction are hoping to add an Oscar to their already bulging award collection.

The British-Irish boyband are releasing their debut film This Is Us from August 29 and they gave it a plush premiere in London on Tuesday (August 20).

It has been directed by Super Size Me man Morgan Spurlock and it charts the group's rise to fame.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Niall Horan admitted that he would love to see the flick pick up an Academy Award next year. He said:

"The Oscars are nuts but we are so proud of the film and it would be ­unbelievable to just get nominated. Any award voted for by a panel or fans is an honour. But to have an Oscar stacked up against the BRITs would be great.”

Spurlock meanwhile added: "This movie resonates with the fans. But I think we’ve made a great movie beyond just a fan movie. It’s the best 3D I’ve ever seen and a great story. So, an Oscar ­nomination? We will see.”
