Question directed to someone or at someone?

Question

That question was directed at Sasha

OR

That question was directed to Sasha

what is the difference?

Answer 1

The correct usage is at Sasha. You direct at a person, but to a location.

Answer 2

As noted above, 'at' is the correct usage.

'to' is appropriate only when the question is going to be sent rather than asked aloud:

After the meeting, the questions were distributed. All the questions about health were directed to Sasha.

Answer 3

Both are valid.

As reported from the New Oxford American Dictionary,

He directed his criticism at media coverage of the Catholic Church.
I suggest that he direct his remarks to the council.

Both the sentences are valid. In those sentences, direct means direct a comment/question to or aim a criticism to.
