Mervyn (BJ Hogg) from the Pain in the hole gang was in a film nominated for an Oscar about 10 years ago.  Short film about Irish dance called 'Dance Lexie Dance', it didn't win though.

That might have had something to do with the fact it was utter shite

Stephen Boyd from Glengormley won a Golden Globe. Does that count?

Greer Garson, who won Best Actress for the title role in 1942's Miss Miniver, (in the process making the longest acceptance speech in Oscar history) was believed to have been born in Castlewellan.

This is now generally considered to be bollix.
