Twice in that time frame 3 out of the 4 were foreign-born. 1957 (Yul Brynner, Ingrid Berman, and Anthony Quinn) and then again in 1990 (Brenda Fricker, Jessica Tandy, and Daniel Day-Lewis).
This year, however, at least two of the winners (Day-Lewis and Swinton) were playing Americans, thank God. I don't recall if Anton Chigurh was American or not.
