Got my letter of award after mentally preparing myself to start the whole process again in the fall for the last week. Very unexpected. 1. Funded in category A ($35k/3yrs in Canada); score: 20.4/30 2. BC 3. Letter received: May 11; Letter postmarked: May 5; Letter dated: May 3 4. Political Science/Interdisciplinary 5. Applied through university 6. Starting 1st year PhD. 7. Taylor, Ross, or Queen's Fellowship?? No 8. Had MA SSHRC, Good (but not excellent) GPA, decent statement of intent, no pubs/conferences at time of application (just a couple of throwaway undergrad things) and what I imagine were VERY strong letters from my MA supervisor and future PhD supervisor.

I haven't received my results yet, but am in the same boat as you: main focus in political theory, with bent towards literary theory as well and chose the poli sci subcommittee (will be starting a PhD in Poli Sci in the fall). Will keep you updated.
