It looks like GEORGE CLOONEY‘s coveting another Oscar if his performance as a man who suddenly finds himself a single parent in “The Descendants” is anything to go by.

Clooney shows his age, all half a century of it, in his role as a man whose wife falls into a coma after an accident, leaving him to care for two precocious daughters, one of whom is a teen itching to break away from parental control. His life is made even more complicated after his teenage daughter tells him his wife was having an affair behind his back…

Current entertainment news says Clooney’s previous best supporting Oscar for his role as a veteran CIA Officer in “Syriana” had him dying from a missile blast in the Middle East. He isn’t likely to travel that path in “The Descendants,” unless you count his love dying out from the struggle to cope with his wife’s adultery.

So check out the trailer and tell us how’d you deal with being considered the “back-up” parent trying to reconnect with two defiant kids, and dealing with the discovery of your comatose wife’s infidelity…
