Let the awards season games begin — kicking off with the trailer for "The Goldfinch," the highly anticipated adaptation of Donna Tartt's bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

Angel Elgort stars as Theo Decker, who was 13 when his beloved mother was killed in a terrorist bombing at an art museum. In the aftermath, he takes a Dutch painting called "The Goldfinch" that was his mother's favorite.

As he struggles with grief, he's taken in by the wealthy socialite Mrs. Barbour (Jeffrey Wright).

The tragedy changes the course of his life, with Theo descending into a life of misadventures, failed romances, addiction, and crime.

Director John Crowley ("Brooklyn") weaves two time periods together — Theo's childhood and adulthood — rather than tell the story in a linear way, as the novel does.

The movie also stars Luke Wilson, Sarah Paulson, Denis O'Hare, and Finn Wolfhard.

"The Goldfinch" opens in theaters September 13.
