AWARDS BEAT
The Norwegian-born, Canadian-based filmmaker Torill Kove won an Oscar seven years ago for her animated short “The Danish Poet,” a charming story about how her parents met. She’s back in the Oscar race this year with “Me and My Moulton,” which is on the 10-film shortlist in the animated short category, and which was nominated for an Annie Award as the year’s best short film.

The central character in “Me and My Moulton” is the daughter in a family of unconventional architects, and the film, Kove has admitted, is autobiographical. So is her new short, “Redesigning Christmas,” in which the “Moulton” characters make an encore appearance to describe a distinctly idiosyncratic approach to the holidays.
