George Clooney is spying on someone in "The Descendants."

This is your second chance to win a DVD copy of "The Descendants," the award-winning drama starring George Clooney as the father of a family in crisis.

But at least they live in Hawaii, so the movie is gorgeous even in the sad parts.

To contend for this prize (a Blu-ray DVD of the movie, which also has a digital copy if you don't have Blu-ray), you must answer the following question:

One of Clooney's co-stars in "The Descendants" is the brother of an Oscar-winner. Can you name the brother who has a supporting role in "The Descendants," and name his sibling who won an Academy Award?

If you know the answer, respond on this blog before 5 p.m. Thursday.

A random drawing from all correct answers submitted to this question will decide the winner. The winner will be contacted and told when to pick up a copy of the new DVD this week.

A new contest to win a DVD copy of "The Descendants" on Thursday night. Check back on this blog for details.

I'll be in touch to let you know how you can pick up your DVD copy of "The Descendants." This was contest No. 2; a new contest (the third and final) has already begun, if you notice on my blog, so try your luck again.

Thanks for playing!

“I was born a poor, black child” … not me, actually, but Steve Martin’s character in the “The Jerk.” That absurd opening line is just one of the absurd number of film facts, quotes and minutiae contained in movie critic Michael Smith’s brain, at his disposal to toss out on a moment’s notice. It’s a key requirement as Tulsa World film critic to know these things. Michael learned a few other life facts along the way (seven years as a Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti manager) before attempting journalism and joining the Tulsa World in 1996, where he’s covered everything from a school shooting in Fort Gibson to a tornado in Stroud to witnessing an execution. A little community theater coverage was sprinkled in there, too. Movies engender many of his happiest memories, from standing in line for “Star Wars” and “Grease” at the Southroads Cinema to the James Bond and Pink Panther movies that always premiered at the enormous Continental Theater.
