Blockbuster Cancels Annual Awards Show

Video-rental giant Blockbuster Inc. has canceled its annual awards show because it was uncertain how many viewers would watch in the post-Sept. 11 climate.
The Blockbuster Entertainment Awards had been scheduled for next spring in Los Angeles.
The Dallas-based company would have had to make significant financial commitments soon to book the auditorium and gear up for in-store voting on the awards by millions of customers, spokeswoman Liz Greene said.
