Behind every Oscar-winning actor is a great acting teacher.

Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is not one of those teachers.

Though his methods may seem a little strange, Kimmel swears by the "The Kimmel School of Perfect Acting." He calls himself the "greatest, wisest, and most dangerous acting coach in Hollywood."

For instance, Eddie Redmayne -- who is a nominee for Best Actor thanks to his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in "Theory of Everything" -- must learn to sound British. According to the Perfect Acting method, he must learn this by repeating after Kimmel -- despite the fact that Redmayne is British and Kimmel is not.

The video above is just a teaser of Kimmel's hilarious "lessons" with Oscar nominees past and present during his After-Oscars special. The episode will feature many actors that owe their career to Kimmel's Perfect Acting ... or not.

It will include John Travolta, Neil Patrick Harris, Susan Sarandon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Redmayne, Lupita Nyong'o, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Gary Oldman, Jeff Bridges, Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Matt Damon and more!

Watch "Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Oscars" Sunday on ABC after your late local news (and at 10 p.m. on the West Coast).
