Because the very point of nomination is to narrow down a list. Our nominations here were for the "major" companions — i.e. those whose actors appeared in the pre-titles sequence for at least a whole series.

Jack is a fairly minor character, in those terms. Heck, Jackie is in more episodes than Jack.
