The rules state to include two kinds of companies as studios:
Theatrical Release Studio(s)
Production Company(s)





So in this case Channel Four Films, Miramax Films and Prominent Features get credits in the studio section.
But do Channel Four Films and Miramax Films get counted as releasing studios or as production companies?

If Miramax is counted as a production company this would mean USA is a Country of Origin besides the UK.
If Miramax is just a releasing studio this would mean that the only CoO is the UK (because Prominent Features is a British company).
Think different

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

Usually, at least from what I have seen, it goes as follows:
Quote:

Theatrical Release Studio(s)
            present

                A
    Production Company
          production

Theatrical Release Studios almost always present production companies.

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

I'd put Channel Four and Miramax as release studios and Prominant as the production company.

The results seem fairly unanimous - and I agree - but you'd be amazed how many profiles for such films happily list "United States" as CoO...

... and we got a vote for production company to emphasize your theory
