Approximate Pre-Holocaust Price:
Obtained only through hard work, dedication to one’s craft, popularity and an unspecified degree of blatant ass-kissing directed towards the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Getting ahold of one frequently also has something to do with having your agent pass that perfect script your way.

Approximate Post-Holocaust Availability:
Extremely rare outside of the greater Los Angeles or New York City areas. While these items are rather scarce in the grand scheme of things in our current world, they will become even harder to obtain post-ZH0H as it is a commonly held fact that the big stars’ homes will be the first to be ransacked and looted.

Benefits:
Does holding a Golden Globe give you the promise of higher profile roles in the future, better per-picture contract prices and provide instant validation for all of those years of being mocked for being in drama class? That’s a big check-plus in the affirmative. Recognition by industry “experts” for being at the top of your game is always a big personal and professional boost regardless of how highly you may think of yourself beforehand.

The Golden Globe trophy is a solid item with enough heft to it certainly break through the most intact of zomblor skulls (and assuredly that of a rottor as well). The trophy’s design lacks the protruding elements common on so many industry awards, thus allowing for repeated swings with little chance of having the weapon get stuck.

Drawbacks:
For starters, there is very little gold in one of the misleadingly titled Golden Globe trophies. Gold plate? Perhaps. A similar bronze-type coating? Maybe even that. One thing’s for certain - you won’t be able to melt one of these bad boys down into a full set of blingalicious dentures.

Back to issues surrounding the zombie holocaust, a Golden Globe trophy really isn’t the best weapon choice on the market. Sure, beggars and improvisers cannot be choosers, but to enter single combat with little more than a long thin trophy is a recipe for meatsnackdom. Very little good has ever come from going solely hand-to-hand with a bludgeoning weapon that barely extends one foot past the wielder’s hand. A Golden Globe trophy is certainly no exception to that generality.

Overall Effectiveness Score:
2 out of 10. The trophy’s decent heft will suffice for a few repeated brainings but will certainly fail you in the long run.
