A Hollywood Ending

"A Hollywood Ending" is the seventh and final episode of Hollywood. It was released on Netflix on May 1, 2020.

Synopsis
Jack, Archie and Ray grieve a loss. Camille receives advice from her idol as Dick unveils his plan to release Meg.

Plot Summary
A copy of Meg was saved from the flames, and now that Avis is firmly in control of the studio she’s fired all the lawyers who burned it in the first place. In order to offset the money lost to beefed-up security and boycotts, Dick invents the concept of the wide release, sending the movie to hundreds and hundreds of theaters at a marked-down price in order to make its release a national cultural event.

The result is one of the biggest box-office hits in years, and a near clean sweep at the Oscars, where Camille makes a point (at the advice of her friend Hattie McDaniel) of sitting in the front row. Camille Washington wins Best Actress. Raymond Ainsley wins Best Director. Anna May Wong wins Best Supporting Actress. And Meg wins Best Picture.
